Child Support

Yes unless he goes to court to have the support order modified. He is responsible for that child regardless of where the mother is.

However, he can get a court order to have the child returned. The mother has no right to leave the country without the father's, and court's, consent. Most countries in the Western World have some sort of reciprocal agreements regarding child custody.

If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.

No, but it can affect your credit. There is no need to be behind due to unemployment. see links below

Is your child of a selfish nature?

Because she has no child to pay for.

In Florida, a child that is at least 15 years old can apply to be emancipated from their parents. It is ultimately up to the judge to make the decision though.

Child support for illegal children can be difficult. A court order is required to enforce child support payments, and this depends on the parent being a legal immigrant with a legal job to collect from. If a illegal child is born of a US citizen or naturalization, the child is no longer considered illegal.

Allowed in interpretive. A judge needs to approve it, and the other parent must not be on Welfare.

Yes, however if the other parent is disruptive, the parent might file a last minute injunction to stop it claiming you are moving away with the child. By the time it's cleared up, vacation is over.

If the child is still in high school, child support continues until the child graduates or turns 19, whichever occurs first.

Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.

Thanks Mackey for the added info. Marcy Sounds like your husband is a fair amount older than this 16 year old and he could well have charges of Statutory Rape laid against him. I am disgusted with the fact he would dump this poor young girl (you aren't dealing with an adult here) and he feels he can just run off on his merry little way and perhaps back to you? First off, kick your husband to the curb and you get on with your life. The way he is handling this situation with this 16 year old is telling you a lot about his personality. He's spineless! You only know about it because he's in trouble and big trouble! Yes, he can give up parental rights, but he should be paying child support and you should be encouraging this. He got himself into this mess, and more importantly there is an innocent baby on the way that didn't ask to be brought into this mess. A man SHOULD face his mistakes and pay that child support. Personally, if he doesn't take some responsibility I hope he goes to jail! Marcy * Termination of his parental rights is the least of his worries. Statutory rape, sexual battery and other such felony charges may be possible depending upon the AOC in the state where the incident occurred. In addition to those noted there are still many other offenses both criminal and civil that can be brought against him. He can also have a civil suit brought against him by the minor's parents. All states reserve the right to charge and prosecute any adult involved in any relationship with a minor. The cooperation of the minor, the minor's parents or legal guardian are not needed for the adult to be brought to trial for such offenses as; corruption of the morals of a minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, exposing a minor to pornography, alcohol, drugs; aiding the minor in committing truancy, and on and on and on. It has been my experience in these type of cases that prosecutors are not hesitant about bringing them to trial, and judges take great pleasure in handing down the maximum sentences if the adult is convicted.

zit would depend on what state you live in, but typically, child support would not increase if the custodial parent decided to stop working full time and began working part time, unless it was shown to be for the sole benefit of the children

It has been happening as young as 12, and sometimes is reported even earlier.

The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.

It is just like if the father did not see the child. He would have to pay child support. Visitation and custody are 2 separate things in the court system. Whether a parent sees a child or not, support is usually still issued. If the judge signed a support order and it is not payed, that parent can go to jail for unpayed child support.

Child support is to provide for children not living with you, it would be assumed if you are living with your child that you are supporting them - take it up with your local child support board.

Not if the parents are married. If not, the mother has sole custody and control in at states, the father has no parental rights, until court ordered, even if paying child support. see links below

Unless the order specifically states otherwise, termination does not erase any support due prior to the date of termination, including retroactive support.

This is dependent on specific circumstances, the number of children, the level of finances, and any rebuttable presumptions. Each case is taken on its own merits.

Make an official request from child support enforcement. see links

Many child support questions are truly dependent on the state that you reside in.

In many instances, if the child is disabled and proven to be autistic, if you have not received SSI (maybe you are limited based on your income); now would be the time to apply for it. Also, in some states, if a child is disabled the non-custodial parent could be liable to continue paying child support until the child reaches the age of 21. Just understand that it usually has to be court ordered by a judge since the disability acts as an extenuating circumstance.

Probably, zero.

Back support is owed the obligee parent, however any continuing support can go to the child.
