What rights does a man found to be the father by default have to said child?
If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.
Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.
If mother don't want you in child's like do you still have to pay child support if she drops case?

I don't know about all that, but I think what you are wanting to do is pretty stupid. Your 17 years old, and more than old enough to take care of yourself. You want that money for stupid selfish reasons and you know what? It's just not right.
Ok, so he wasn't there for you and he didn't help your mom pay for you and rasie you. Fine. Trying to get revenge is not EVER going to replace the love of a father, so get over it and stop being a whiny little bitch.
Leave him alone, move on with your life, and grow the hell up!
That does not mean you have full custody. Even though the father is not around you should still go for full custody. Theres always that chance the father could back around and that child is not with you he has just as much right to that child as you do.
If its your baby then shame on you for doing her with a minor! that should be on your concious! but also i believe you should adopt the baby if you ready to be a father.

How can a mother who's been diagnosed with Bipolar Skitzophrenia have custody of a child?
Firstly, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia are two completely separate conditions. There is no such thing as Bipolar Schizophrenia.
Bipolar and Schizophrenia have a range of severities and are generally episodic illnesses. While on treatment some people may never have another episode and can function normally in society and hold down jobs.
When the courts are looking at custody they are advised by the patients medical team and look at a range of factors including severity, frequency of episodes, insight, compliance with the medical team and medications as well as social supports in place.
The courts will look at what is best for the children. Children by far do better with their biologic parents even when the situation is not ideal. There generally needs to be a very strong reason for custody to be taken away from parents. Court decisions are not necessarily all or nothing. They may allow custody with caveats such as regular meetings and supervision.
Can ward of the state child go after a parent for support if they dont have custody?
Only the state can.
If you marry a man who owes child support in Washington am I responsible in Arizona?
You're not responsible anywhere.
With no courts orders in place, the father has no legal right to have the child living with him. The mother has sole custody and control in all states, and he can still be obligated to pay support for this time period. He needs to immediately file a motion with the court to establish his rights and for at least temporary custody, pending a full hearing, before she gets wind of the fact that she can take the child away from him at any time. see links below.
If i pay full balance due on back child support at time of court will they dismiss case?
No. You have failed to meet your obligations to your children. You will still have to pay the full balance and will have an order to garnish your wages placed on your employer. You will also be liable for court fees.
Think about this you are a father, you brought children into the world, you are responsible for looking after them if you have the means to do so (which you obviously do!), this responsibility IS NOT that of the taxpayer, many of taxpayers are struggling to provide for the OWN children without having to be taxed extra to pay for you deliberately shirking your responsibilities.
You may have had a disastrous break up with the children's mother BUT the children are still yours, you must not walk away from your responsibilities to them, no matter how annoying this may seem to you.
What do you mean by relentless support?
What is meant by relentless support is constant, unwavering support. When one is behind you all the way no matter what, that is relentless support. It means they never stop believing in you and supporting you. Non-native English speakers should notice that, according to native English speakers, the word 'relentless' has a negative connotation towards the person providing the support.
If a 15 year old wants to live with his dad does the mom have to pay child support?

How can a man refuse to pay for child support in the United States?
Legally, you cannot refuse to pay child support after receiving an order from a court. A man (or a woman, for that matter) is legally obligated to financially support their children. States set most child support laws, and if the custodial parent files a support order against the non-custodial parent, the state will enforce the order.
If the parent defies the order, the state may garnish their wages, seize their assets, or take other actions as part of that enforcement. Eventually, the non-custodial parent may face jail time. Enforcement can be carried out across state lines, so even if the non-custodial parent leaves the state, they’ll eventually face repercussions for dodging their responsibilities.
If you’re unable to pay child support because your income has changed, your child’s financial needs have changed, or for another legitimate reason, you should contact an attorney to discuss your options. You may be able to file a child support modification request, which asks the court to revisit the terms of your original order. The process for filing this request varies greatly from state to state.
An important note: Filing a request does not automatically guarantee a lower payment. The court will consider a variety of factors in evaluating your request, including:
- The disparity of income between the two partners
- The parents' income
- The payer’s cost of living
- The child’s needs, including costs of education and healthcare
- The child’s standard of living
- Temporary hardships (such as hospitalization or loss of income) on the part of the payer
In some states, the court will also consider reasonable living expenses, but many courts simply look at the net income of each parent (net income is your gross income after taxes, Social Security, and other mandatory deductions). To the court, the needs of the child come before the needs of a parent, so a judge probably won’t consider credit card bills, car loans, and other non-essential expenses.
You may be able to lower your payments by discussing the issue with the other parent, or by using mediators to revisit the child support order. If the other parent agrees to a modification of the child support order, you’ll have a much easier time getting the change approved. Even if you come to an agreement with the other parent, you will have to submit the proposed modification to the court in order for it to become legal.
If you’re thinking about filing for child support modification, make sure to pay all of your current child support payments on time to the best of your ability. Discuss the matter with an attorney before taking any legal action whatsoever.
Sadly, many parents don’t support their children financially, despite their legal obligation to do so. In 2015, $33.7 billion in child support was owed, but only about 60 percent of that money was actually received by custodial parents. Only 21.7 percent of all custodial parents requested government assistance in collecting child support.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a tracking observation in childcare?
The disadvantages of using tracking sheets or flow charts when observing children are that you are unable to interact and so you are unable to give a detailed description of their movements within reference to fine and gross motor skills, you are also unable to note other developmental milestones such as emotional development and intellectual development. Alongside this, this method can be very messy as arrows or lines go everywhere and the method needs to be pre-planned and so is not specific.
Is Lee Child related to Lauren Child?
