No. Child support is generally based upon the obligated parent's monthly income from wages and any other source. A tax refund is not always for the same amount nor always applicable and therefore could not be counted as an income source. A tax refund can be seized for child support arrearages.

Yes, a child with Down's also need food and clothing but when it comes to children with something like Down's Syndrom you can end up paying for the rest for their lives. It depends on the child and how he develops. Down Syndrom come in different levels so some can handle jobs and others can not.

It can be, however this is a matter for the judge.

Welfare programs are "means tested," i.e., participants' income and asserts must be less than the relevant threshold: e.g., TANF (f/k/a AFDC); SNAP (food stamps); Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program; public housing; subsidized [private] housing; Women, Infants and Children's (WIC) program; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Low Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). TANF, SNAP, SSI and Medicaid are "entitlement programs," i.e., the Federal and/or State government must ensure that every eligible applicant receives the benefits to which they are entitled. Please note: "regular" Social Security, Medicare, workers compensation and unemployment compensation are not welfare programs.

This is a legal question and an attorney should be consulted, however, visitation should be attainable, but full custody of one child, removing her from the family home where there are siblings would be doubtful. Unless there are compelling reasons for the child to be removed and custody given to the birth father, like abuse, the chances of full custody are nil.

Yes. A non-custodial parent can file a petition to establish his parental rights. He can petition to establish his paternity, to establish custody and visitation and to establish a child support order.

If paternity has been legally established, then yes she can file for child support for your child by contacting her local government. If paternity has not been established legally, then a paternity test will be necessary before any further steps can be taken.

It depends on your state.

It depends on the agreement for child support that was made. Some support the child through high school or age 18 only. Otherwise, the parents have a choice as to the level of support they will provide.

The State and the courts take a dim view of this. The best thing for you to do now is to tell them what you know - genetic testing is going to exonerate the man you named.

When you or someone else does not let or stops there child from learning any thing, like going to school,or does not teach there child themselves. Not teaching there students how to accept every one and get along.

They will most likely enter a temporary custody and support order that will stand until the final decree is issued.

Of course! The health situation does not change the fact that there is a child that needs to be taken care of.

I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

Section 403.212 of the Kentucky Statutes

Not yet addressed in the statutes, but this may change as state try to compensate for loss of federal matching funds due to decreasing overall child support awards due to the downturn in the economy. In California, 20% of a new wife/SO can be used in an adjustment. A rebuttable presumption argument can be use to attempt this in most states, but this argument is a two way street and could also result in a lower payment amount.

In general (and regardless of military status), child support is a percentage of net income. In Illinois, for example, it's 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Income is almost anything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.

Hopefully not... It doesn't exempt you from being a parent.

Recipients of SSI cannot be ordered to pay child support. In general, State courts will not order public assistance recipients to pay child support. Child support obligations cannot be garnished from SSI or public assistance payments.
