How long do you have to pay the loan back?
Student Loans
Under most circumstances there is a 10 year plan available for paying back your student loans. There are extended plans available if you are having trouble making payments. Keep in mind that making arrangements that lower your payment will increase the amount you will owe so pay as much as you can.
Other Loans
You need to review all the documentation that you signed when you borrowed the funds. All the provisions should be clearly set forth in that documentation.
Do you lose the child support if you live with the father?
In general, child support obligations are imposed on absent parents.
Income tax refunds are taken only for past-due support - i.e., by the time the State starts taking tax refunds, the time to appeal an order for support is long past. The father might prevail in such an appeal if he can show that he just discovered that the mother had lied.
Can a non-custodial parent in Ohio get custody of their child in Nevada?
Situation: Custodial parent and child live in Nevada, non-custodial parent lives in Ohio.
Possibly, but you would probably have to petition a court in Nevada.
Are you entitled to tax refund from obligator of child support?
If the person owing child support is delinquent (arrearage), yes. This practice by the court is known as "Tax refund interception", meaning, the state will collect all tax refunds and forward it to you.
Unfortunately, the mother will have to get this legally sorted out. If he has been granted custody, the payment of support should have no effect on visitation.
Another PerspectiveThis is a legal problem. In the United States there are laws and guidelines that govern domestic issues and no person must try to solve this type of problem on their own. The laws provide checks and balances to protect the legal rights of the individual from abuse by stronger individuals. If the father has no custody rights the mother should call the police to have her children returned to her.
Since details about marital status or any existing court orders were not provided, the following is a brief general summary to help the mother plan a strategy to enforce her legal rights.
- An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until that status is modified by a court order. The father must establish his paternity through the family court and then obtain a court order to establish his custodial rights. He may petition for joint custody or sole legal and physical custody if he believes the child would be better off with him. The court will render a decision based on the evidence.
- If the parties are married then each has equal parental rights and the father has no right to keep the child from the mother without a court order.
- If the parents are divorced the father is keeping the child from his mother without the legal right to do so since he does not have custody. In this case, his keeping the child from the mother would be against the law.
The mother should contact the court immediately. She may be advised to request a restraining order and to have the child returned from the father's home. The state laws must be applied in this case and the court will render its decision based on those laws.
What about a lien by accident settlement can child support do that?
Yes. If they can find it the court can place a lien on the proceeds like any other creditor can through the court. Child support is a debt you owe.
Which month is safe to abort the child?
no month is safe to abort a baby because it could not only hurt the baby but it could severly hurt you too. the safest time to abort a baby is in the first 4 months but the baby already has a body and a brain and its heart should be beating already. I aborted a baby before when i was five months pregnant and i almost bleed to death, the doctors could not stop me from bleeding. but first four months. it will stick with you for the rest of your life. but u do have a choice
How much does child support increase if non-custodial parent comes into a large sum of money?
Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent.
The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.

No, a minor (under 18) with no living parents would be taken into the foster system by the state if no guardian was named in the mother's will.
It is a percentage of the net income and is based on other factors--for instance, whether you are paying for health insurance and whether you are taking care of the children.

Are single parents at an advantage in funding schooling for their children?
Definitely not. It's way harder to financially take care of a child as a single parent because you only have one source of income versus two, unless you get child support.
That would depend on why you lost the rights to your first one. If they think that you will be a danger to your child they will do something. Just because you lose the rights to one though does not mean that you automatically lose the rights to another.
Do you still have to pay child support when signing over your parental rights in Massachusetts?
When you relinquish your parental rights so the child can be adopted you are no longer responsible for paying child support.
You are liable for support until/unless child is adopted.
Not without the approval of the courts.

Can child support be changed so the grandmother gets its if mom isn't taking care of the child?
Yes, and the mother should be ordered to pay.
Does the fathers name on a birth certificate make a child legitimate?
No. The status of being legitimate refers to a child born to parents who are legally married. In the past, a child born out of wedlock was at a legal disadvantage regarding inheritance from her/his father and other rights. That status is no longer significant in the United States since Supreme Court decisions in the 1970s abolished the bars to inheritance.
The term term has negative connotations and has fallen out of use.

You cannot get your money back; however, you should immediately take steps to get the order terminated.
Answer
You cannot terminate the support in 20 states period, and in most of the other 30, you had just 24 months to learn you were not the father, so you're likely stuck. You could file for custody. Though you cannot use paternity to stop the support, she can use it to stop you getting custody in every state except PA. But, if she does, she forfeits her claim on you, allowing her to file a retroactive order on the bio dad. Unfortunately, you cannot recover your money through the system, though you could attempt a personal lawsuit. But, recently a Clay County (MO) judge ordered Welfare to refund a father everything he's paid, though I'm sure it will be appealed.
