Child Support

[assuming that this involves alleged past-due child support] 1) bring proof that you don't owe the amount claimed; 2) bring payment of the past-due amount

Not sure if there are any, however we have several members at Dads House that might help. see links below

It is unlikely the court would recognize such action as a valid reason for reducing the support amount. Furthering one's education, though admirable is not mandatory it is a personal choice.

Yes, after the order is modified to match the new level of income.

Yes, any type of judgment will allow the creditor to levy on the debtor's bank accounts. Since it is a default judgment, it might be possible to apply to the court to have it set aside, if the circumstances are right.

No, you cannot get money back that you paid in child support. There may be circumstances where you could sue a person for some of that money back if you found out the child was not yours.

Child support has first take with any moneys that you get. If you are behind in child support, they will take their percentage out of any money you get.

Whether or not you can make the mother move with her child back to the state where the father lives depends on the original court order, where you live, and what is best for your child. If you don't have a court order that specifies that the mother must remain in a certain state, you'll need to petition the court to make her move back. If the court believes that it is in the best interest of the child to live in the same state as the father, the mother may be ordered to move.

Actually it doesnt matter if she has a baby, in the judges eyes that has nothing to do with what you are suppose to be paying for her..if she is employed and is supporting herself it can be lowered but cant be stopped because she is still under 18 and you have to pay for her needs still, but it stops at 18, BUT if she graduates and plans on attending college then you still have to pay child support to help pay for tuition and other fees until she graduates!

If your kid likes watching TV, limit the amount of programs a day or week. If you would like, my guess would be to limit their programs to about 3 a day. Then in the time they are bored, have them have to read thirty minutes a day. Don't make them find a book of their own, then right in the middle throw it out because it's to boring. Go to the library and ask them what the most common writer, story, or even series checked out is by kids. When you go there, find a couple books. Have them be all different kinds of books. Maybe one about a orphan escape, one with action, one with horror, and maybe even one with a 'once upon a time' and 'happily ever after the end' After getting the choices, read the backs YOURSELF. Decide which one suits your child best. Then, bring home the top 3. Have them decide which one they would like the most. If they don't like any of the ones YOU picked out, go to the library with them and just let THEM choose. Anyways, once they have their book picked out, tell them they have _____ days, weeks, or months to finish the book. When their done, have them tell you about it. Once they have read a bunch of the good books you've picked out, they'll start to enjoy reading. Maybe ask them if they like WRITING books instead of READING books. If they enjoy writing them, encourage that. Writing books is just as good as reading. The trick is to find REALLY good books that they will ENJOY! I'll name a couple.

BTW: Notice how in Teens, I put the book eclipse. And in the 10-12 year olds, I just put Twighlight and New Moon. DO NOT let your child ages 0-12 read Eclips or any other of the series after. They have Sexual material not suited for children.

Hope this Helps!

Your eligibility for medicaid would be determined by your total household income regardless of who the children's biological father is.

The US Constitution requires States to give "full faith and credit" to the laws and orders of other States. However, the mechanisms for enforcing spousal support are much more limited than those for enforcing child support.

If it refers to physical custody it means that the child spends half the time with one parent and the other half with the other parent. If it refers to legal custody it means that both parents have an equal right to make important decisions that will affect the child.

No. SSI beneficiaries are exempt from paying child support (except for past-due support). Child support cannot be garnished from SSI payments.

Only after hearing from the obligee and considering the best interests of the child.

Probably; but if he didn't pay when the money was important, he most likely won't now. Let it go--it is in the past.

No he is a minor just like that baby will be. That boys mother has all control of him. If he got arrested he cant go to jail because he is a minor. Its his choice not to take care of it.

The person who gave this answer is an idiot and I'm surprised they can even work a computer. 16 year olds go to jail all the time and yes if they have a child they can be made to pay child support.

The non-custodial parent should file for visitation rights for the child in the county where custody was given.

If the parent who has custody of the child is preventing the non-custodial parent the right of visitation they can be found in contempt of court if visitation has already been established.

If the custodial parent has too many repeated contempts filed against them, custody can be switched to the other parent.

Generally not. If it is agreed by both parents that giving up parental rights releases all obligations for child support, then maybe. It is still up to a court to authorize this agreement.

The court still has to order the payments, but the court can go back in time, to when the child was born for example, and "start" your payments from back then.

Only if it's registered and approved by the courts. There should be no problem, unless the primary is on Welfare.

There are several factors to consider as well as alternatives:

The issue should be addressed in the custody and visitation orders.

The parent who decides to move away should pay those costs.

The costs should be shared on a pro rated basis depending on the respective income levels.

If both parents make a good living then they should take turns paying for the trip.

The parents should negotiate an agreement. If they can't then the matter will need to go before the court with jurisdiction over the case.

The age of 18 is considered to be the Age of Majority in all states with the exception of Alabama(19), Mississippi(21), Nebraska(19), Wyoming(19), and the District of Columbia(21). The Age of Majority is a legal term meaning that age at which an individual has all the rights and responsibilities of an adult. If you are not living in one of these states, you are an adult. If you are living in one of these states, you can always request to be emancipated. However, even if you have achieved the Age of Majority, if you are not supporting yourself, you are dependent on those who are and should conduct yourself accordingly. Good luck.

You don't have to let him see the kid(s) or your can
