Will braces fall under medical support?

I'm not an expert, however I know that the courts made my husband pay for his daughters braces. Not only that, they were "special" braces which costs somewhere around $1500.00 more. Not because they were needed- just because they looked "cool" and he still had to pay on the extra too. :(

How do you sue your ex for unpaid medical expenses on your child?

In the final divorce between the two of you , if paying of medical bills is clearly mentioned that he would pay it , then he better do it, or you can very well sue him for it.

In Georgia, the answer is mixed.

If the person is under the state mandated age of adulthood (17 in GA) and is COURT ORDERED (not DHR) to pay child support, then DHR can request the originating court to file an order of contempt or charge the minor with violation of a court order.

Can a judge make you pay child support if the child is not legitimized in the state of Georgia?

They certainly can. The judge is the 500 lb elephant in the room. He or she can make any ruling they so desire as long as it is not in violation of state law and the laws of Georgia state that the named father has an obligation to support their child whether the child is legitimized or not, unless the father can prove via a court ordered paternity test that he is not the father. Legitimization of the child is to protect the father's right to visitation and custody and has absolutely nothing to do with support obligations.

Can a dad sign his parental rights over to his mom before he loses his child in sc?

Losing your child via court ordered custody order or modification? Yes by filing a motion pertaining to the same in the court of jurisdiction.

However, you should be aware that such a motion may not be granted unless another person is legally adopting the child (full custody to the mother doesn't apply) and in almost all cases, terminating your parental rights does not terminate your obligation to pay child support. All it accomplishes is terminating your right to see your child or have any say-so in their lives.

How do you pay child support arrears?

They can, if you have a persuasive reason such as being unable to pay. If you declare bankruptcy, then you won't have to pay anything, since no debts are collectible from a bankrupt person.

Arrearages may be reduced or credited if you can either prove you have had the child for all or part of the time child support has accrued, if you can convince the petitioner to waive part or all arrears or if you have proof of payments made directly to the petitioner (given your support or divorce order does not specify such payments will only be considered a gift and the judge approves the validity of the payments). Filing bankruptcy does not satisfy and child support owed you will still be liable for paying as it is a court order signed by a judge.
