Can I put a lien on my Husband's Father Estate for Back Child Support?

His father has nothing to do with this matter. If you can prove that your husband put the estate in his father's name in an attempt to hide it from you or your attorney, you might be able to go to court. Otherwise he has no legal involvement.

AnswerIf you can manage to obtain a judgment lien against your ex-husband for child support arrears you can attach any inheritance that hasn't been paid from the estate. If the probate is in the early stages you could have the attachment served on the attorney who is handling the estate. You should consult with an advocate at the Family Court that issued the child support order. If the probate is at the same court system they may be able to provide you with more definite information. If not then consult with the attorney who represented you in your divorce.

There are services that troll probate courts for beneficiaries and sell their lists to creditors. If an inheritance can be found it is possible to attach it to pay a debt.

Does a father still have to pay child support on his 17 year old daughter when her mother gave her permission to get married?

If you're in the US, marriage automatically emancipates a minor and therefore the parents are no longer responsible for supporting them, so, no, child support does not continue. The noncustodial parent needs to file a petition to have the child support terminated.

Can you sue your ex-wife when you find out you are not the child's biological father.?

This depends on where you live. Some states in the U.S. have strict laws regarding adultery as illegal; if you were married when the child was conceived, you may be able to sue if you later find out that you are not the biological father.

There are only three U.S. states that still have existing laws that relate to such issues and those states rarely address the actual act of adultery. They generally apply laws that relate to civil redress for injured parties rather than those relating to adultery.

In general the only way such a suit would be viable is if the ex-spouse could prove he had been harmed either financially and/or his character had been damaged to the extent that it created difficulties in his career and/or personal life. For example if the ex-spouse had been paying support for a child that was not his biologically. Even so, the courts often rule in favor of the mother in the assumption that she did not know the child in question was fathered by a male other than her husband.

If you owe back child support can you get a home loan?

Yes! my husband owed over 20K in arrears to the State he however has good credit (hard to believe but true) and has a good employement history. He qualified for a FHA loan and we closed on our first home last year. Throughout the loan process you will be discouraged and sometime denied because of the arrear on your credit but it all depends on who your broker is. I would not go straight to a big bank and apply for a loan but if you are current on your cs payments and owe arrears but have good credit and a decent debt to income ratio if it worked for us then it will work for you...We live in California.

Another Perspective

A custodial parent who is owed arrears should follow through with Child Support Enforcement and obtain a Child Support Lien that can be recorded in the land records. Once the lien has been recorded a lender will require the arrears be paid off by the obligor and the lien released before it will loan mortgage funds. The laws may vary from state to state.

Can a non custodial parent change a child's school if the child lives with him in Georgia?

First, the custody order must be modified if the child is not living with the custodial parent. The non-custodial parent does not have the legal authority to make legal decisions for the child. He cannot consent to medical treatment, dental treatment, surgery, cannot enroll the child in school or represent the child in a lawsuit. If the school is doing its job of protecting children it should require proof of custody when the child is registered. That is one of the ways children who have been kidnapped by the non-custodial parent are found.
