How can you collect child support arrearages in California?
Custodial parents who experience such matters almost always have to file a civil suit against the obligated parent when support payments are not being made through a state agency. In some states the agency involved usually continues payment and they are the ones to initiate legal action against a non compliant parent. If that is not the case, it is the responsibility of the custodial parent to recover monies owed through the court according to the laws of the state in which the minor child resides.
In such matters the best option is to obtain advice from a qualified attorney or legal advisor/agency.
Should I get more child support if my ex remarries and his spouse makes more money?
No, your ex's new spouse is not responsible for supporting your children ergo their income can not be considered when the courts calculate child support obligation for your ex.
In the state of Washington is there a law that says a noncustodial parent has to pay 50 of daycare.?
You should talk to a lawyer.
However, I don't think the law specifically says 50% of daycare. However, the law does require the noncustodial parent to contribute to the support of the child, so financial arrangements can be imposed on the noncustodial parent to meet the child's needs within the parents' means. (Thus, the noncustodial parent might well have to pay for 100% of such things.) And this may well mean that the noncustodial parent has to provide enough funding for daycare if needed. Still, it is essential to talk to a lawyer and come up with a formal support arrangement between the two parents to avoid legal disputes in the future.

Do you still have to pay Child support for high school drop out in Missouri?
Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies.
Unless the father has legally given up all rights to the child, he is the one who should have, and can go to court and get those parental rights. Don't make him and your child go through that for the wrong reasons. Your child needs his father, especially now and you would be doing what was best for him by seeing that the transition is cooperative. How would your child feel if he were passed on to someone not even related? Make sure he stays with and is surrounded by his family. I am so sorry for your situation and it must be so painful for you to even be considering all of these things, but unless there are circumstances you are not disclosing regarding your ex and other relatives, I think you know that is where your child belongs.

Can adult children file a property lien for back child support if father died?
No. The child support was owed to the custodial parent and not the child. In order to obtain a judgment lien the adult children would need legal standing to bring suit in civil court- they wouldn't qualify. Also, there may be a statute of limitations. They, and their mother, should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to determine if their mother can file a claim against the estate.

Do yo have to pay child support in Texas if there is no paternity test proving the child is yours?
In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.
Well, it really depends on what state you live in.
Typically, you will need to contact your local child support office and ask them to request a case review and modification. They will look into how much he makes and proceed according to the information they get.
Can a father ask for a reduction in child support when he has a child with another person?
Let's think about this. The court has determined that a child needs a certain amount is needed to take care of him.
Having a child by someone else doesn't change the first child's needs in any way. If I was the judge, I'd be thinking how many kids does this guy want to support? and wouldn't consider changing the amount. In a way it would be rewarding the guy for having another kid. NOTE: The above is someones personal opinion. FACT: Child support is based on a formula generated by the courts and the number of children outside of the child needing child support is indeed in the formula. If someone goes on to have more children, the added expense is taken into consideration when calculating child support. Consult an attorney about this.
It is in the best interest of your child for you to pay child support. If the child is still living in Mexico and the mother has a court order, you need to pay support. If there is no court order, you are not legally obligated to pay support.
It isn't illegal. I would suggest you keep track of your ex's behavior and eventually file for full custody. Keep in mind, it is not healthy for the child to be put in that position either.
