You can be charged with kidnapping. You are in violation of laws and the court will not assist you in obtaining child support from the parent with legal custody. Rather, the court will enforce the law and you may be arrested.

How do you get child support if the child lives in Georgia and the father lives in Tennessee?
The custodial parent or legal guardian files a lawsuit for child support in the state in which the minor child resides (in this case, Georgia). The non custodial parent will be served with a summons regardless of where he or she lives. Federal law mandates all U.S. states honor and enforce child support lawsuits and/or orders of support.
Can you transfer the child support case from NJ to wi?
Usually cases are not transferred. If your case is open in NJ and you move to WI, your case will be closed in NJ and you'll have re-open a case in WI.
How many months does in take of non payment of child support to be a felony in Ohio?
The state as in all U.S. states has a wide area of descrepancy when it relates to child support enforcement. If the non custodial parent has one month arrears he or she will be notified by CSEA of possible penalties.
Generally it requires 26 consecutive weeks of non support before the obligated parent is subject to incarceration. However, property belonging to the non compliant parent can be encumbered and/or soldor other action taken before theaforementioned time is reached.
Can i get out of paying child support if i give up my rights to the child in west Virginia?

Are arrears paid to the child when they turn 18 in PA?
Honestly? If the child support is in arrears, it is unlikely to be paid ever. Move on.
Social security payments for the husband stopped upon his death. If the child is under 22 (?) and is still in school, there may be payments due to the child. If you are receiving checks on your own behalf as a widow, those checks are not subject to child support payments. You can call Social Security directly or look online for this information.
I believe only the mother named in the court papers can sue. The agreement was made between the father and the mother, not the father and child. And even then, it might have to be the court that goes after the father, not the individual. Contact your local courthouse and ask to speak to the clerk of the court and they can provide you with all the information you need.
Can you refuse to allow your ex's girlfriend to attend your child's doctor's appointment?
I arranged it, have residency, he is invited as the child's father but wants to bring his girlfriend along. She doesn't live with him, they are not engaged, but does play with my child when he visits. He wants to argue with paediatrician's assessment as he doesn't like his child having special needs. I am not planning on bringing anyone with me. I just want it to be me, him, child and doctor, but am worried I will cause difficulty if I refuse to admit her. However, I don't want a 2 vs 1 situation going on. I wanted to know if legally I can refuse to permit her to enter the consulting room. She's not related to my child, after all.
You can refuse and he can bring her to sit in the waiting room but in the doctors office it should be just the parents. It sounds like your ex is just playing games. She has absolutely no right to be present.
How do you determine the amount each parent pays per child on 50 50 joint custody?
It goes by a % of the father's monthy income, I believe it's around 25% for the first child, and 17% for the second. Like, if a man makes about $900 a month he will pay about $250 a month.
If you have 50/50 joint custody there shouldn't be any child support payments, just the 50/50 shared expenses (e.g. medical insurance, school informs, daycare/afterschool care, sports/school activities).
There is a formula for 50/50 custody as well as shared custody which is a bit different.
The formula goes off of the mothers and fathers incomes as in any other calculation of support for Oregon at least. You can look up the calculation on the web with the correct income information from both parents.
Now, some parents may waive support if incomes are comparable but in general this in not the case.
I do believe some parents may think that because they have 50/50 custody this makes them immune to having to pay child support but that is not the case.
In Calif. it's a formula.
You can get a DEMO copy of the software by going to my website at http://www.steveshorr.com/child_support.htm
Plug in the #'s and then you'll see where you're at.
Maintenance and parenting time / access / custody are not usually linked. Shared 50/50 custody does not mean equal maintenance. Unless, as above, the parents means are very similar.If there is a difference in parental means, there will usually be a formula applied that shifts the larger portion of maintenance payments onto the wealthier parent.

Can you get child support if they don't have a social security if yes how can i do this?
Your child must have a social security number in the U.S. It is used for insurance, school entry and other rights as a citizen. The parent paying child support will need to claim the child as a dependent: you'll need to provide the number. Take care of this now. It is so difficult for it to be resolved when the child reaches the age where he needs to work or qualify for higher education. As many parents and young people are finding, this issue doesn't go away.
Can a father's child support increase if his xwife is pregnant on maternity leave with less pay?
That depends on state law where she lives. In most states, a request for child support modification may be filed based on any temporary or permanent change in circumstances including things that result in lowered/increased income or expenses related to providing for the child.
Consult an attorney familiar with family law in your state of residence for more specific information or edit your question to reflect your state of residence.
How can a father voluntary relinquish rights in Oklahoma?
He needs to find someone to transfer them to, someone who will then be responsible for the child's welfare and financial needs in the father's place.
That may be possible but you would need to petition the court to modify the child support order so that a portion can be paid directly to the child, especially if your child is living off campus and has regular monthly expenses to pay. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law.

Can the custodial parent terminate the arrears of child support in Georgia?
Yes they may unless the child is receiving some sort of welfare (federal and/or state aid). Normally, this is done by filing the appropriate paperwork with the agency in charge of child support enforcement in their jurisdiction, or filing a motion pertaining to the same in the court of jurisdiction.
No it is NOT public assistance for every one. The (OASDI) Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance (FICA) (social security and Medicare taxes) all mean the same tax.
You haven't explained what the medical issue is. If the child needs treatment and you tried to discuss it with the non-custodial parent and they won't respond then you cannot let their lack of response prevent the child from being treated. Go ahead and make arrangements to get the child treated.

Can a state garnish wages on child support arrears if they are included in chapter 13?
Yes; child support is not affected by or discharged in bankruptcy.
Yes. The other parent must consent with the plan and the school should be notified that it can release the child to the new partner. Actually, a well run day care will obtain drop off and pick up plans in writing signed by the parents.

What will happen if you don't have legal custody of your child and you move them to another state?
You cannot legally move a child out of state if you don't have legal custody. You would be kidnapping that child. If you are an unmarried father you must obtain proof of your paternity through the court and then you can petition for custody. Otherwise, you have no parental rights and if you take the child it will be a law enforcement matter.
What does a child raising a child mean?
essentially underage and hence usually unwed mothers. the fact that abortion could solve this social problem- Point Blank!- bang, is not discussed by the public morals types. They might instead agitate for the unpopular and discredited gender apartheid, which in secular operations, is normally limited to ( Problem students) and serving the pedagogical needs of say, the Youth Houses.
