Child Support

Although support for most children ends when the child attains majority, completes school and/or becomes emancipated, support for severely disabled children often continues into the child's adult years.

By law, child support belongs to the child. Therefore, parents cannot agree between themselves to waive or reduce child support, either past-due or current. The venue that issued the order must approve any such agreement.

No. The AG is CSE's attorney. If you're the victim of illegal actions that have resulted in monetary loss, request an administrative hearing. File a lawsuit if the agency denies your appeal. (FYI, CSE's legal attempts to collect support are not abusive tactics.)

Are you still responsible for medical insurance, paying for the house where they live, any other expenses? Ask the court for their answer to that question.

Of course he needs to pay as usual. Housing and other expenses go on, and I am sure the divorce agreement does not see it as he does. He owes the money. You could muddy the waters by offering him a break, but it is unlikely to be a good idea in the long run.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

what is the florida state statute number regarding incorrigable children

She ma not know who the father is. Over 30% of paternity tests come out negative. She may think it will prevent him from obtaining parental rights, which it does not.

I am not sure what it is there. But here in Ohio after 1 year of a parent not paying support and/or having any visitaions, then if you take them to court you can have them sign off all parental rights for abandonment. The best thing to do is contact a lawyer for a free consultation and get their advice.

Change of custody and/or child support can only be done through the appropriate court procedures. The person must file a petition to modify/amend the original orders in the court of jurisdiction. Support orders must be adhered to until a a ruling is made on the status, if this is not done, the person ordered to pay the support could possibly be found in contempt of a court order.

I just got married a year ago, and just had a court date this past week to terminate biological father's rights and my husband to adopt my daughter. At least in the state of MI, they look at the finances seriously. My ex owes $8,000 in back support, but the judge would not make a ruling because he paid an average, over 50% of his support in the past two years. Not to mention, the biological father has never seen her, asked to see her, sent her a card, birthday present.......nothing! We had to pay $2000 in lawyer fees. So make sure, if you are going to hire a lawyer and spend the court fees, that the biological father has not payed over 50% of his child support obligations in the past two years. Check with your state to see what the requirements are. You can get free consultations from many lawyers, but do your homework. Find a lawyer that has experience with these kinds of cases, and get an estimate prior to signing anything. He/she may charge you for every second he works for you, than times it by 4!

Also, in the state of Michigan, a mother can not terminate a father's parental rights unless the mother has been married for more than 1 year. There may be certain circumstances that would allow it, check on it.

It Depends on why the divorce happened.

Yes! If the mother has a child support case agaist you , the court will issue an order for DNA test. Once it's proven that you are the father, you pay.

Yes. Your State's child support agency should be able to help you with this.

Not unless you overpaid. I'm curious to know why you think you should.

P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????

First a petition will need to be filed to have the custodial order changed. If the court allows that action it is usually possible to have the child support order modified at the same time. The change of custody petition will need to be filed in the state court where the present custodial parent resides.

Oh yeah. Contact the VA and file a claim and the child will get a check. This is not in addition to child support though.

Only when owing more than $5000

It depend where you live in the world , the Law are differant from country to another .

I think you have to go with the paternity test to the hospital administration where he was born and have the paper notarized or signed by the judge, then they will change his name on the birth certificate and you must present all of this to the social security admin and to the courts and file for a name change with them.

yup

The issue of there being no court order of support does not relieve a parent of their financial responsibility. In such a situation the parent paying the support could cease payment once the child reaches the state's age of majority, which in NY is 18. More importantly, the parent who is voluntarily paying support needs to be certain all monies tendered for the child is documented in the form of a cancelled check, money order made out to the custodial parent or some other form that can be validated...NOT CASH! The check or whatever should state specifically that the money is for the support of the minor child. If this is not done, there is nothing to prevent the custodial parent from filing a court order claiming that no support has been rendered. Such action would cause the non-custodial parent in serious legal problems, which would be expensive to say the least. A safer and more acceptable option for all parties involved would be to obtain a court order of a specified amount of support and time.

Joseph Kony is very real.

It's possible that if you file for child support he will file for visitation - assuming he isn't neglectful or abusive, visitation is his right as one of the parents of the child.
