Child Support

If fully depends on the circumstances.

Child support is based on the "Income Shares" model. The court will approximate the amount that would have been spent on the kids if the parents and the children were living together. Then each parent will be ordered to contribute a proportionate share of the total child support. see links below

the traditional age given as the "age of reason" is 7

First, the "real" father must establish paternity - until/unless the court rules otherwise, the guy who signed the BC is the father.

The obligor should file a petition/motion to terminate maintenance.

You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to.

If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.

You can try, but the mother's new spouse isn't responsible for your child.

This assumes you mean, "How does a father put himself on child support?": 1) establish paternity; 2) get legal custody of child; 3) petition courts for child support (all of these steps will require notice to the mother of the child).

yes

If you are the father of the child yes. Why do you ask? do you expect someone else to pay for raising your child? Your child - your responsibility - be the best father you can.

"Lying about everything" is a vague term. Refusing to obey court orders can result in loss of custody. If the father can provide the court with enough evidence, the mother's lying can be brought to the court's attention as well. If she is a pathological liar she may have other problems that affect her parenting.

The terms of the support order detemine when the parent's financial obligation ends. If the order was issued by a Mississippi court then it more than likely states, "at the age of majority", which is 21 in Mississippi.

Yes. But don't send the money to the grandparents - send it to the courts or the State disbursement unit. You may go to court to require the grandparents to grant visitation.

You need either an attorney or a psychiatrist to help you deal with this.

If there's a significant probability that you're going to get a divorce, you need an attorney.

If there isn't, and you're morbidly curious about something that you don't think is likely anyway, then you need a psychiatrist.

Ultimately, who has to pay child support to whom depends on the court decree, and it's nearly impossible to predict ahead of time what that might be without a lot of additional detail, which is where an attorney might be able to help you.

In the state of Florida, your driver's license can be __________ for failure to pay child support.

1) getting through; 2) getting current information about your case

yup

the answer is in article 25 of the universal declaration of human rights

Here's the link:

http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/

it says "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control." ( that is the article)

Contempt of court as regards custody is considered a change of circumstance resulting in a change of custody.

No. In some states they may enforce retroactive support or support for while the "child" attends a 4 year university. Retroactive support is generally only backdated 2 years from notice.

THE VERY SIMPLE answer is yes. BUT...there are a lot of buts. If a parent wishes to give up or "relinquish parental rights", the state agency that handles foster care, adoptions, temporary placements etc... has to take into consideration what is best for the child (children). Generally, they look for relatives; aunts, uncles, grandparents, to keep the children in familiar family surroundings. If no relative can be found, then they look for foster families or adoptive families that can keep the children together. If that fails, they look for familes that will take some but not all the children. It is a very touchy situation, because any good agency will try and keep the kids together. Then of course the families that wish to adopt or foster, have to meet certain criterion, such as how big is their house, how many kids do they already have, how stable is the environment, are they licenced, are they financially able, the list goes on. In certain instances where the children are known to the folks that want to adopt, or both families are known to the children, the families know the mother and live in close proximity for schools, friends, doctors, social workers, then the agency may look favorably on the families wishing to adopt. I work in this field, and believe me, nothing is for sure. I commend you for wanting to help the children, as it is a BIG sacrafice with no absolutes. Please post again with an update. THANKS! Yes, they can. Just make sure you keep the children associated with one another with meetings and contact. Call a adoption agency too. * Maybe. First of all both parents must relinquish there parental rights or have them terminated by the court before minor children can be eligible for adoption. If the mother was unmarried at the time and a father has not been named, she will be required to convince the court that she does not know who the father of the children are or supply the name of the man she believes to be the father. If the father cannot be identified or found, then the court may move forward with the relinquishment of rights and adoption proceedings. If the mother was married the biological father must agree to the adoption. Assuming that both parents agree to the relinquishment of rights as noted in a previous response, that does not necessarily mean the potential adopting parents would be granted adoption rights and most certainly does not guarantee that a judge would allow the children to be separated.

yes. they have to pay a %medical cost and any income the mother receives while pregnant

I believe that the wife can take you back to court for changes in visitation scheduling. She can take you back to court for obtaining clarity on the visitation which you have been granted.

The parent with custody would file in the region where THE CHILD lives. Contact your local Attorney General's office. Interstate cases are complicated and better left to the professionals.
