Child Support

The monthly amount paid for child support varies greatly based on a number of factors. There really isn't an "average" amount; the supporting parent's financial and employment situations are key determining factors.

Child support should go towards support of the child, such as: diapers, clothing, food, medicine, furniture, toys, entertainment and so on. Child support is simply a non-custodial parent's financial share of supporting a child that they would normally spend if they were still in the home. It is not a penalty. It is a responsibility.

419B.506 - Termination upon finding of neglect

The rights of the parent or parents may be terminated as provided in ORS 419B.500 if the court finds that the parent or parents have failed or neglected without reasonable and lawful cause to provide for the basic physical and psychological needs of the child or ward for six months prior to the filing of a petition. In determining such failure or neglect, the court shall disregard any incidental or minimal expressions of concern or support and shall consider but is not limited to one or more of the following:

(1) Failure to provide care or pay a reasonable portion of substitute physical care and maintenance if custody is lodged with others.

(2) Failure to maintain regular visitation or other contact with the child or ward that was designed and implemented in a plan to reunite the child or ward with the parent.

(3) Failure to contact or communicate with the child or ward or with the custodian of the child or ward. In making this determination, the court may disregard incidental visitations, communications or contributions.

[1993 c.33 §141; 1997 c.873 §8; 2003 c.396 §86]

Georgia law decreed all child support payments after or on July 1, 1997 have no statute of limitations. Any case before that is terminated when a child turns 18 years old.

as long as they want dummy, pay your support!!

Yes.

Under Federal Law, the mother can file for a retroactive child support order up to the 18th birthday of the child. The child can file when he/she turns 18. The number of years of retroactive support awarded is dependent on specific state limitations, but some judges have been refusing to award them in cases where the man did not know he had a child. This however is provided that the mother had not collected any form of Welfare, which has to be repaid, irregardless. ----

The grandmother would need to gain legal custody before she can petition the court for monetary support. Unless the court terminated the rights of the mother she probably would be ordered to pay child support. A "letter" is not sufficient documentation for transferring the care of a child/children to another person even a family member. A petition must be made to the court for temporary or permanent custody under the guidelines of the state of residency laws. Schools will not allow a child to be enrolled unless it is by the parent, legal guardian. Then there is the issue of medical care, and the before mentioned support, either through public assistance or by the parent(s).

State laws govern the amount a person can make and still receive assistance such as EBT. The hourly wage is not relevant to the situation either, as such decisions are based upon total income. It's possible for any individual to earn a good hourly wage but after deductions such as FICA, health insurance, state taxes, etc. the total income might fall beneath the guidelines of the state's public assistance requirements.

The issue of child support is not relevant as those monies are delegated for the child's welfare not other members of the household.

A judge can issue a bench warrant for the arrest of any dead beat parent at any time after it is reported to the judge that the parent is a dead beat parent.

child support is used for parents who are divorced and have legal custody of the child, so the parent gets money from his/her spouse to help support and raise the child

You need to review the court orders relating to the divorce to determine what your obligations are. That issue should be addressed in the divorce agreement. If you still have questions you should ask to speak with an advocate at the court or the attorney who represented you in the divorce.

In general, the grounds for termination of parental rights are: voluntary (usually as part of the adoption process) and; after a trial and a verdict that the parent is unfit.

no

Only if the parent is the legal guardian of the child's person. If the child is a danger to herself or others, the parent can petition the courts for involuntary commitment.

Not from that moment but you still owe if you owed prior to the signing away. Someone else paid for your child and should get their money back.

It's a federal law.

If the child is on SSI, yes, though it will affect the amount being received. Also, in these cases, the parent is also low income and receiving state aid, so it's actually the state making the application.

Yes, provided obligee is not on Welfare, however it's not a good idea. They could go to another state later and file a claim of non-payment and by the time you get it cleared up, you spent more in legal fees than what you would have paid in child support. see links below

File a motion to modify.

If I were you, I'd think about this before you file anything. Child support orders are not just for monthly expenses, but for medical and educational costs as well. Even if you don't need his money, maybe you would want to get a little and put it away for when the kids need something, such as braces.

I know that there is probably a lot of circumstances with your question, but please think this through for the good of your children. Even if he wants nothing to do with them, he helped create them and should be responsible for something.

If you decide to do this, you just need to call your local court house and get direct from them.

Yes, plus it can be increased. His chances of them offering to give him custody is 15%. see link for help.

your child turned 18

It can also mean that the child died or became emancipated prior to age 18, or that the obligee failed to cooperate with the agency.
