Why do children tend to follow parents' decisions?

Because children are normally around there parents for their whole lives so they become similar to their parents. Also it could be something in the genes.

Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?

yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.

If your 17-year-old son signs up for the military is the father still responsible for paying child support until he goes to boot camp if both parents signed the paper for him to join?

Well it seems like he would still be responsible until he leaves. Also as long as your son goes to college he will still have to pay your son child support until he is 21. You may no longer get it, if he moves out or even goes away to college but your son would.Instead of payments going to you they would go to him, Which I hope they have been all along seeming that is for the childrens needs, including part going to bills, clothing, food ect. But yes as long as he has not left the father is still responsible to pay child support signing up does not give him the right to stop paying even if he did sign the paperwork. * The terms of the latest support order determine when child support can end. The order will either stipulate a specific age or will a term such as "the legal age of majority". In most states a act of a minor enlisting in the military automatically confers emancipation and child support is no longer mandated. The best option is to contact the clerk of the court where the support order was issued for information on the proper procedures for the rescinding of support obligation.

I'm on the birth certificate but not the bio father. how can I get my name off the birth certificate?

You may file a petition for genetic testing with the courts. Your chances of success vary depending on the jurisdiction and the amount of time that has passed since you signed the acknowledgment of paternity.

How long does it take to receive first child support check if you the mother live out of state but the father files on him self?

I teach fathers how to do that, so he may be one of my students. Locally done, you would be looking at 6-8 weeks for the whole process to be complete, meaning he has paid it in and it has been processed. Depending on your state, you will be issued a debit card.

If you are totally disable can courts use VA disability and long shore workers comp to determine child support when SS-DI child support is already paid by noncustodial parent?

The Supreme Court has ruled against the use of VA Disability benefits, however most states are ignoring it. The SSD Child Benefit check general covers for anything that could be possibly paid when collecting just SSD, however you also have union benefits on top of this. That amount should be applicable in setting an order. The fact of you have a combination of three source incomes leaves it all open to interpretation by the court. In 21 years of working with fathers, I've not seen a case of this type, so you will need an opinion from a good attorney who specializes in child support matters. See the links below on how to hire one.

How can you get a passport for a child when his or her father will not return calls or emails regarding consent?

The parent wishing to take the action will need to petition the appropriate state court for permission to obtain a passport and to be allowed to take the minor child out of the country.

Be advised that the non compliant parent will be notified and given the opportunity to contest the action.

If the court believes the requesting parent is taking such action to permanently remove the child from custodial jurisdiction, then the petition will not be granted.

How can you pay child support to your child and not his mother?

Child support is paid to the custodial parent. Generally you have no control over it unless you have evidence the mother is neglecting the children. In that case you would need to try to gain custody yourself or have the court arrange some supervision.

The problem of fathers who do not want to pay child support over to their ex-wives is extremely common. However, the custodial parent has the right to decide how to spend the child support in any way that benefits the children, within reason, without having to account to the child support obligor. It is not "spending money" for the child. Child support is provided for help in paying for the child's needs that can include anything that must be provided for the child including shoes and clothing, medical and dental expenses, school expenses, rent, recreational activities, heat and utilities and food.

Who gets the child support mom or child at age 18?

Mom. But don't pay child support directly to the parent - send it to the court or the State disbursement unit.

How long can a parent go without paying child support in Georgia before the authorities can be involved?

Sit up and fly right! If it's $50 - $100 that you can only afford that is better than nothing. You helped bring that child into the world and so if you have any scruples at all you'd be willing to pay what child support you could. Raising kids is expensive!

16 year old teenager does not want to visit non-custodial parent during visitation what can custodial parent do?

Teach the child to respect the authority of the court. Teenagers do not want to be required to do anything with a parent. It's the job of the parent to remind them that family comes first.

Does a notorized affidavitt by the mother prove child support in IL?

All affidavits are notarized; if they're not notarized, they're not affidavits. It depends on other evidence in the case, but an affidavit is generally accepted as proof of payments received.

Why does a non custodial parent pay for child support to the custodial parent when they live together?

Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.

Do you have to pay for daycare if you pay support?

Reread your court order for a record of your obligations regarding child support.

If you're just asking in general: it's more typical to have everything lumped together into a single payment, rather than separating them out into individual categories.

In new york if a 18 year old move to a non-custodial parent's home do you have to pay child support can the child go to court and have it stop?

You need to come to a new custody agreement for any changes to be made; have your lawyers make the necessary arrangements if the two parents cannot agree (in writing) themselves.

If you are not the father after signning the birth certificate do you have to continue to pay child support?

This question is a complicated one in that the laws of paternity do not necessarily establish the biological father as the father for child support purposes but rather look to the circumstances surrounding the case. Your husband is what is known as a presumed father, which is essentially a man that was married to the mother when the child was born, legally agreed to be the father of his wife's child (by signing the birth certificate, and has acted and behaved as the child's father. You cannot receive child support from both the presumed father (if he is still your husband) and the biological father (assuming he admits to being the father) and a court would likely determine your husband to be the father for purposes of child support.

What rights does paternal father have to take son out of abusive household with the biological mother and stepfather and keeping the child away from the paternal mother.?

There are two ways you can do this. In Canada we call it "Child Welfare." Make an appointment with them and they'll help you out. They may make a surprise visit to the home where your son is living (make sure they do). If Children's Welfare isn't happy with the environment your son is in then this will help your case (after you retain a lawyer) in court. Good luck!

Can a 35 year old adult child collect back child support from his biological father in new york state after the mother who never filed for child support is dead?

No. The statute of limitations for child support arrears in New York is twenty years from the date of the default. However, in your case it seems that your mother never obtained a court order for child support. You have no cause of action.
