Child Support

Whatever the amount set by the support order. The maximum amount is 50% of the obligated parent's disposable income.

Please note: There must be a standing order of child support before the employer can implement a garnishment. However, no judgment writ is needed for garnisment pertaining to arrearages.

No. The child's parent is responsible for paying child support.

If the parties agree to everything that needs to be addressed by the court then the matter is uncontested. If there is any disagreement and the parties are asking the court to resolve the issues for them then the matter is contested.

Absolutely not. This is dangerous and irresponsible. If it continues, you will want to return to court to restrict or discontinue the NCP's visitation rights.

Child support is typically required in situations where one parent does not have physical custody of the child. In these situations, the child's daily expenses do not fall on this parent, and as a result the court orders them to pay child support in order to help with these costs. The amounts of child support to be paid are often based on a formula taking into account the income of both parents and the ages and needs of the children.

Put something in front of it and move it around. If it's eyes follow, it can see. Make sure it grabs it's attention, use a lit lighter or something. If it doesn't follow, get a horrible Halloween mask and try to scare it. Don't make any noise though, if it sees you it'll cry.

They would file for termination of child support at the agency in charge of collection and disbursement of support payments in the area where they live.

If you're pregnant, you're pregnant. It happens reasonably fast; the process doesn't hang about for a week or so.

In most countries a 20 year old is classed as an adult, whether in full time education or not. An adult is responsible for their own actions, so why would a parent not be able to 'emancipate' an adult child?

Don't know what "parental rights" you are referring to. If they include un-supervised stays, or visits, by the child(ren) - they could now be limted to a visitation period supervised by your state Dept of Family Services (or whatever they call it in your state). But the likliehood is that you won't be forbidden to see your child(ren).

No, it is up the individual to disprove paternity. You will have to pay until you prove you are not the father. ---- Answers With the growing reports on Paternity Fraud in Child Support cases, a paternity test should be done on all births. A Paternity Testing Kit manufacturer is currently producing a "TRUST, BUT CONFIRM" commercial specifically addressing this.

A certified letter must be sent to either parent requesting the travel. Information must include dates of travel and the purpose of travel. EX: taking cruise vacation, 4-11-2009 thru 4-18-09. Child will return to residence on ending date. The recipient must respond within 30 days. However, either parent traveling must provide legal documentation as to relation to the child.

In answer to your question about needing consent fron the joint legal parent in order to travel abroad, I am also in the same situation. I contacted the national US passport office and I was unfortunately informed that "yes" if you have joint legal custody and sole physical custody, you will still needed to get consent from the other parent.

For background info see CA Family Law code 3048

I was very sad to see the last response to your question. I am also in the same situation. I have been told that one can write to the Judge who issued a person's dissolution and ask for an Order allowing the child to travel out of the U.S., listing the dates of travel. I do not know if this is true. I have only begun to explore possible options. I guess that "might" be an option to check into. It is frustrating though, that every time a person would like to travel (to Canada for instance, if close to the boarder) one would need to seek permission from the court,then. My Ex has been MIA for over four years.

If your child does not yet have a passport, or when you renew the passport, the ex-spouse can either 1) appear with you at the local passport office or 2) sign a form the office will give you explaining why he/she is unable to appear, but agreeing to the passport issuance. If you cannot do either of these, I was told by the office that a local judge can give you permission for the travel if you fill out this same form explaining why your spouse is unwilling or unable to appear and agree to the issuance of the passport.

Child support, is based on the needs of the child and the economic situation of the parents.

Child support is primarily determined by what it takes to provide the child with a reasonable standard of living, based on what the two divorced parents have available. Sole custody indicates that the child will be living solely (with limited visitation) with a just one of the parents. Thus, that parent will be responsible for providing the vast majority of the food, clothes, etc. that the child will be using. The non-custodial parent now no longer will be providing those (if they had shared custody). So it is likely that the court will also modify the child support requirement - either reducing the amount the custodial parent had been paying the now non-custodial parent, or increasing the amount that the now non-custodial parent had been paying the now custodial parent.

No.

100 dollars at least a month.

If the husband of my child's mom adopts her can she still file support from me?

its depends because if you adopted the child the mother no longer is responsible you are. but if she gave you the child with out terminating her parental rights then you have the right to sue her.

There are ways around this, but you need an attorney who specializes in adoption law.

Contact child support services, who presumably is handling it? Ask for a print out and take names of those you speak to.

In florida they take 40% of my unemployment

Absolutely not. Shelter, food and clothing basics are it. If the child wants phone service, he/she should go to work and earn the money. Or, if the non-custodial parent differs, and the custodial parent agrees, he can pay for it.
