Child Support

That option IS available to the court as a lever to apply pressure to the deadbeat parent.

REASONING: If the deadbeat parent fails to pay support, the state would have to spend TAXPAYER supported money in order to support the dependent child.

No. The father must also consent. The mother cannot "sign over" the child without a court order granting guardianship. The court will require the father be given notice and the opportunity to object.

It depends on the validity of the contract. If it meets the requirements of a valid contract then it's enforceable.

Depending on the financial situation, you may have to pay child support for the non-custodial child. For instance, if your incomes are nearly the same, perhaps it would be a wash.

Remember that child support in most cases still lacks being enough for school fees, special clothing and so on. Keep in touch with these needs and make sure your child is taken care of.

No. A single parent can live with whoever they want as long as that person is not harmful to the child.

If there's a court order you are both responsible for the child being able to see both parents. You both moved and now you have to share the expenses. Neither of you could have moved without the other's consent so you must've known this would be a problem.

You can petition the court for a modification of the custody order. For such an important issue you should contact an attorney who specializes in custody cases. The attorney can review your situation, explain your rights and options and present the most compelling evidence to the court on your behalf. Their experience with the law in your state, and the court, is invaluable and will provide you with your best chance of obtaining a judgment in your favor.

What state created the support orders & how did the custodial parent cancel the orders & why would the same parent want to reinstate them after canceling them?

Based off the way you asked this I'm a bit confused, but I'll assume you meant that the noncustodial parent canceled the orders in IL. In that case, there would've had to have been a reason for IL to cancel the orders, otherwise the state that issued the orders has power over the orders & IL would have to enforce them due to support orders reaching over state lines.

In general, if the amount of child support exceeds the TANF standard, TANF will stop. (The family might still be eligible for Medicaid.) If the amount of child support is less than the TANF standard, TANF will continue; the State will keep the child support as reimbursement.

Yes. Whether it was a one night stand or a ten year stand, a child resulted from it and you are responsible for supporting that child.

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. If you want to see your child, bring the custodial parent into court.

Your question isn't clear so here are alternative answers:

A lien on any property, including a motor vehicle, must be satisfied before that property can be transferred.

States routinely report child support arrearages to credit agencies. Typically, such arrearages lower one's credit rating, which can effect one's ability to get a car loan.

1) the custodial parent, and/or; 2) the State[s] which furnished public assistance and/or child welfare services to the child[ren]

I believe all States have provisions for retroactive support.

I doubt that the courts would uphold such a charge. The facts can show he's the father without showing that he knew of the pregnancy.

The judge is deviating from the norm based on his claim that although a relationship existed until 2 months after pregnancy was discovered, he claims he was never tolsd the child was his. Therefore he quit a job and moved state. At the paternity case in Aug 2011, he claimed no knowledge until Jan 2011. At the child support case in Sept 2011, he claimed no knowledge until March 2011. This was all the judge needed to allow him to not pay child support arrears to the baby's DOB (DEC2010)instead, he starts paying from Aug 2011. His affidavit repeatedly claims if he had known he would've stayed around, If he had known he wouldn't have quit his job, etc. I submitted proof under a combined motion for review that include witness statements and Facebook postings to prove he did. He is lying to the court. Does that change whether or not you feel the court would up hold the charge? Or should I not bother and just let him get away with it? Thank you for responding to my question :0)

I regret it would be inappropriate for me to advise you in this. However, because perjury is a criminal matter, the decision on whether to charge this man belongs to the local prosecutor. A conviction for perjury will not change his child support obligation.

Also, you might want to talk to an attorney specializing in family law in your jurisdiction about whether an appeal of the child support order would be timely and worthwhile.

You should notify the court immediately and ask the court what you should do.

You can't. If there has been a change in the custody order you are still responsible for any arrears incurred while the other parent had legal custody. Your garnishment will not be returned to you since it was imposed for money you owed. You owe those arrears until they are paid in full regardless of the change in custody.

No. Only the parents support the child, not the step parents. What you make will have no impact on how much he has to pay in child support. Even if you marry this woman that will not change.

Guidelines vary by state but if you are even one month behind, the parent who is supposed to be receiving the support may file a motion of enforcement. Parents who do not meet their support obligations face wage garnishments, liens and even jail.

Yes, if you have been ordered to pay child support. The courts/child support agency presumably know the CP's whereabouts. Also, the support might be owed to the State.

In some schools you have to if your child is really smart or struggling at the level they are on.

Yes.

If the parents are unmarried the mother has custody until a court has ruled otherwise. An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test.

A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.

Guidelines and statutes applying to child abandonment and who can initiate such a motion vary from state to state and country to country. Providing the child's legal state or province of residence (or country if outside of North America) is helpful, otherwise an accurate answer cannot be provided.

Assuming the question refers to the lack of financial support the custodial parent or legal guardian should file suit in the domestic (civil) court in their county of residence concerning the matter.

If the question refers to a parent having their parental rights terminated that would also require a petition/suit in the domestic or probate court in the county where the custodial parent and minor child reside.

Some states do not have provisions allowing a parent to voluntarily terminate their parental rights unless in preparation for adoption. Involuntary termination of parental rights may be initiated by the state and only in certain (and generally dire) circumstances as outlined by state law. And periods of time for a finding of abandonment may vary as well. Again, that is why it is critical to provide the location in question for any hope of an accurate answer.
