Child Support

That would be dependent upon the terms of the child support order issued by the court. If there are no specifics relating to the issue it would be necessary to consult the state compulsory education laws. It is possible to file a petition to request modification of the original order, (it's not likely it would be suspended). It is important that the person does not arbitrarily cease paying support, as that could result in a contempt charge and possibly create serious problems.

He doesn't have to; however, the other parent will presumably seek child support sooner or later, and he will be asked to acknowledge paternity or undergo genetic testing at that time.

That is fully dependent of the incomes of both parents, and the formula set up by the legislature. It's not percentage specific. There are also the addition of extra expenses. see link below

One option is for the male to prove through paternity testing (preferably DNA) that he is not the biological father of the child and then file suit to present the evidence to the court that issued the child support order. Another option would be that the father of the child petition the court for primary custody of the child and if successful request the non custodial mother pay support. Grounds such as the male being mislead concerning the possibility of the female using birth control so as not to become pregnant (or some other such scenario) would not be a viable defense for the non support of a biological child.

Sorry, but maybe you meant child support modification? A child support modification is a judicial order and can significantly reduce or increase the amount of support a parent gives or receives. also if you need to know more about child support, here is the following link that should be useful to you: lawrina.

The same way that anyone else's support is calculated - as a percentage of net income.

Food stamps, no. Medicaid - the State will pursue the other parent for insurance coverage.

Unless the teen gets emancipated, yes, and it could be increased to cover additional costs. see links below

Without knowing the jurisdiction difficult to say.

In general, you'd need to prove the mother is unfit to have custody.

This is a hard thing to do.

Joint custody is more likely.

Six months, but the father can file in NH first.

It depends on the age of the child what kind of room would be appropriate for the child to sleep..play and be near the parent ( custodial or non-custodial) to monitor. If you don't have a adequate area for a child..why are you a parent.

There is an online form, however it does not include child support and it still needs to be approved by a judge. see links below

He has the right to petition the courts for visitation.

== == * Canadian law states that if your ex's new husband has adopted the children and given them his name then you, the biological father are no longer responsible for child Maintenance. * In the UK if the children are legally adopted by someone else, then the biological father is then not the legal father and has no further duty to maintain.

No. He can change the locks to his home, put a restraining order on the mother and she would have to go to court to get access. This only if he has been the live in father for some time. In Canada it's three months - that's common law. The police would surely try to entice the man to give up the child but he doesn't have to in this case.

No, the provisions of IRS law only address this based on time spent with each parent. I assume your son is underage? See Dads House at link below about his rights as well as child support issues.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

You need to consult with an attorney or legal advocate in your jurisdiction. Note that you cannot simply give up parental rights in order to avoid child support. Generally there must be another adult who is willing to take over your legal responsibilities and financial obligations as the child's parent.

yes if guardianship was awarded by the court and someone other than the gaurdian still has parental rights. they may wish to revoke gaurdianship in the child's best interest.

Age 18, upon graduation from HS, or once emancipated. Which ever is the latter.

If you have joint custody I don't understand why you are paying child support. I have joint custody with my oldest daughter and we share her in her support. When she is with me I pay her bills when she is with her father he handles the bills. As far as medical we both have insurance and split the difference down the middle. Yet we are best friends and have a wonderful relationship between our families. I gather this is not the situation you find yourself in.

I would first make contact with your local Department of Children Services. This day and age times are hard for everyone. You should sign the children up for the Food Stamp or Snap Program. Based on the ages if any are under 5 you should sign them up for WIC as well. A father has the right to do this when the mother is avail. Next I would visit your local Family Support Council for parenting classes. It is harder to be an active parent than most think. It also shows great will to be a good father. Also they have resources that can be unmeasurable to one in you situation.

My next stop would be the local Child Support Office. Their should be someone assigned to your ex's case. You need to have a copy of the arrest order and some proof that you have the children in you care now. Such as Food Stamp approval or Snap Approval; WIC if app.; Schedule of parenting classes with the Support Council.

Any other information you can think of. Be strong and make a stand for your children. If you don't no one else will. You brought your kids into this world and they have a right to be raised by humans that will love and care for their every need. If you want to raise your children file for court order custody.

No. He can sign over his rights but he would still be liable to pay child support. The only time he doesn't have to pay child support is if a stepdad wanted to adopt the child, then the biological father doesn't have to pay child support if he signs his rights away.

Having full legal or physical custody. If it is full legal custody the mother has given up any legal claim to the child. If it is full physical custody with joint legal custody the child will be in the legal custody parents home. She may elect to give the child up to be adopted by the stepmother.

In many states (and maybe in all states) if the custodial parent dies, then the non-custodial parent gains custody, provided that that his/her parental rights have not been terminated (and just because he/she did not have legal custody does not mean that his/her parental rights were terminated). Of course, in that event the stepparent can still petition the court for custody. Check with a local attorney.

Usually reasons for child support to end are because the child graduated from high school, oe the child has married. If the order does not designate a specific date for the support to end, the termination date would be when the child reaches the legal age of majority of the state in which they reside. Please be advised, in most states a motion must be filed with the court to cease support on the grounds that the minor child has now reached the state's legal age for being an adult.

If you're in the US and there is no legal custody order in place, then yes (because he as the same rights to the child as you do). Of course you can then go to court and obtain a custody order and he'll be ordered to return the child, but without that court order there's nothing you can do.

The state that has Jurisdiction. If you still live in the state of origin, file an injunction to get the children returned, plus more. see links below
