Child Support

Yes. if you have a visition right. you will need to ask lawyer a question about how to make her.

It is not possible for anyone on this forum to calculate child support obligations for you as there are many more factors other than income that are taken into consideration.

Yes, but he will have to file a petition for visitation. He may also have to go through paternity testing to verify.

If you have a private agreement you will not need to utilize the services of Domestic Relations. However, if you would like to utilize their services and you are not on public assistance if you tell them a predetermined amount, they will honor that.

You file charges against the parent who kicked the child out for abandonment. You file for custody and suspension of child support. At the minimum, the payments can be frozen pending a review of the custody order.

No. Custodial or visitations issues and child support are completely different matters. Parental rights can only be relinquished voluntarily by the parent or permanently terminated by the court.

That's up to a judge, but why would it matter?

Only if the court mandates it. It would be a good idea.

She cannot stop visitations on her own for any reason. Only the court can change a visitation order. She must request that the court modify the visitation order and provide police reports detailing the assault. If she stops the visitations on her own she could lose custody.

Yes, as reimbursement to the State.

He should also make sure the mother has been ordered to pay, which is often overlooked. He can file for custody, but the chances are about 15%.

Only attorneys in your home country can answer this, but you might consider that you can help a lot of people get important information by doing so. Ask yourself: will any harm come to you by allowing the test? Does any harm outweigh the possible benefit that others would gain?

As long as you have not named this young man on the birth certificate of your child, then you have every right to continue to look after your daughter as a single parent. If you have named this young man on the birth certificate and he has decided to fight you for this child (or hasn't said a word yet) it is best you get sole custody and be sure the courts realize he has been an unsupportive father and has not paid child support. If he has been paying child support and neither of you have custody this could be a problem and he may fight you in court for his rights.

After establishing paternity a biological father can petition the court for custodial or visitation privileges regardless if he has been placed on the birth certificate. The child support issue will only be addressed after such action has been implemented or if the birth mother files for support or public assistance.

If you have joint legal custody then you will need the father to sign paperwork to get a passport for your daughter to leave the country. If she already has a passport and your trip out of the country does not interfere with his visitation then you have every right to take you daughter anywhere you want to take her:-)

No, but there are things that can be done.

It's a possible, in some instances the stipulation for payment for higher education is specified in an original support agreement. Also, the custodial parent can petition the court to modify the support order pertaining to that issue. Concerning any order modification, the judge will take into account the income of both parents, the possibility of grants, student loans, the student's employment possibilities and so forth, when rendering a decision.

He doesn't have any rights (or responsibilities, either, for that matter) until/unless paternity is established. Once that is done, however, he could request visitation or even custody of the child.

Yes. The child's needs continue, and VA taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for those needs.

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. Upon finding good cause, a court may order that child support payments continue beyond the age of 18 if the child is unmarried, residing with a parent and is enrolled as a full-time student in a secondary or vocational program and making substantial progress towards a diploma. In this case, payments will not extend past the date that the child reaches the age of 20. see link below

In general, child support is a percentage of net income. When calculating support for younger children, support actually ordered and paid for older children is subtracted from net income.

Yes, you have to bring the father to court for a paternity test, if he has not signed a recognition of parentage. They will not start a case on child support unless parternity has been established. If he will not willingly go to court the state through social services will mandate him to appear.

Parents of minor children are legally required to support said child/children regardless of the circumstances surrounding the matter. The biological father of the child in question must be financially responsible for his child according to the laws and ruling of the court of the state in which the child is a resident.

You can appeal to a judge to order him to pay child support, but not see the kids because he is abusive. If you are awarded full custody, then you can do what you want. Child support, custody and visitation rights are akk different issues. A parent does not have the legal right to decide who retains custody of a child, if the non-custodial parent may have visitation rights, if child support should be awarded and what amount of support should be paid. Such issues are determined by a judge in accordance with the laws of the state where the child(ren) resides. Both biological parents are given the opportunity to present their case and submit supporting evidence pertaining to all the previously cited issues.

Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.

Overpaid child support is often consider a gift by the courts, which is why one need to regularly monitor their payments. see links below
