Child Support

Yes you can, but will need to go through the courts. Or you could still go after him for child support through the courts, they can make him pay.

You should proceed with the child support case. You will have to risk the other finding out whatever you don't want them to know. Your ex husband shouldn't know details about your finances, it is best to keep them private.

If Mom needs Dad's financial support in order to provide for that child, the court is not going to allow him to simply walk away (even if he's willing to give up his parental rights) and leave the child without the financial assistance that's needed.

In the same manner if not. see link

Maybe the mother can only afford the ones she has now but the father can suppport the children she left behind for a better well-being. But it still does not give the mother the authority to leave the children. They still deserve the mother and father both togehter or a mother role model in the children's life. The new child should have the best life possible!! * From a moral standpoint, absolutely not. She has demonstrated her lack of concern for her children's emotional and physical welfare and therefore having more children would be immoral and irresponsible. From a legal standpoint, both parents are responsible for the financial care of their biological children. If the father and/or the state pursue child abandonment and/or non support charges she could be arrested, stand trial and be incarcerated and/or fined she would definitely be ordered by the court to financially support her children.

It depends if he was ever involved in the child's life. However, he does have rights. Of course this is state specific because the state is all powerful within it's boundaries. The state cannot violated the father's due process rights. If the parents has been out of the child's life for many years it is possible to terminate the parental rights and have someone else adopt the child. If this is just a case of a women who recently had a child the father will have a whole lot of rights. Need more specific facts to answer this question i have an eight month old daughter living in the UK. i will like to know if i will be able to get shear custody with the mother and how much time i can get?

On the contrary, many jurisdictions jail delinquent obligors.

This is a decision of the court, and not covered under state statute. see links below

The husband is presumed to be the father of any children conceived/born during the marriage, unless/until proven otherwise.

If Dad has court-ordered visitation then you have to follow it or you are in violation of a court order (and there are consequences for that). If there's a valid reason you don't want Dad to have visitation, then you can go to court and request that the court modify the visitation order. But be aware that the court will not do that without a very valid reason.

Certainly some evidence of responsibility (ie paying child support, job, time spent with the child) would help your case. Joint custody, however, is not just for the purpose of reducing child support; infact the child support you pay is nowhere near what it costs to raise a child. Consider the ramifications of your sharing custody--what is in the best interests of the child??

What would seemingly require a very basic answer is actually a very controversial question. Some say that child protective services remove children from their homes, often against their will, split families apart, and pry into business that is not their own. They even have 'quotas' that they should try and meet regarding how many children they should take away.

Others say that CPS do a necessary job to try and rescue children from abusive or dangerous situations, that they may give them a chance at doing something successful in the future. Both are true. It really depends on the people that work for Child Protective Services. Nevertheless, if a child can be safely kept with their family, they will undoubtedly be psychologically healthier in the long term than a child who is removed from that family.

In this economy, with so many out of work and losing unemployment benefits, orders are being put into place, but without an amount. The father has to regularly report his efforts to find work.

Yes, if you have an income (other than public assistance or SSI). Also, the court may require you to look for work.

But, you should immediately file for a reduction. With 80% of all layoffs being men and six men for every job common to men, your chances are not great for getting a job, so you need to take steps not to get too far behind.

Depends on your reasons. see links below

No. The family with the older child[ren] gets the full percentage of net income. The family with the younger child[ren] gets a percentage of net income after subtracting payments ordered and being made to the older child[ren].

No,The courts can force him to support the child financually but not emotionally , you can't force him to take an active role in the child's life.

All babies have fathers....not all have dads though. Absolutely not! If the father is that adamant about not wanting to see their child, trying to force him by any court order is only going to make matters worse for you and for him. You could be opening up the probability of child abuse by him. Leave it be - get on with life.

Normally a child is not brought to court when a custody case is being heard. The judge speaks to the child separately, and usually on another day.. see my profile

Once paternity has been established: 1) pay child support; 2) have reasonable visitation

this makes no sense.

It would not be considered assault. One of the elements of the crime is intent. The courts and laws say that someone under the age of 12 cannot form the requisite intent to commit a crime.

Yes, probably.

The terms will be set out in the custodial agreement in conjunction with the individual circumstances of the persons involved. Generally joint custody allows both parents to have equal say in all issues directly concerning the children, such as medical care, education, extracurricular activities and so forth. Usually the parent with whom the children reside makes most of these decisions. However, major changes in the children's lives such as moving or elective surgery, etc. must be agreed upon by both parents or a court order must be obtained allowing the action.

no the father usally doesn't get custidy, Unless he fights for it and wins the case. no the father usally doesn't get custidy, Unless he fights for it and wins the case.
