Child Support

There is no average or set amount. Child support is a complicated calculation based on many factors including the income sources of both parents, parenting time as outlined by the custody order, and any special provisions including hardship. If you look on Google, you can probably find a calculator that would give you a ball park figure but it would be in no way binding.

Joint Legal: Both parents are suppose to have equal decision making rights, but child resides primarily with one parent while the other pays full child support.

Joint Physical Custody: Parents have equal decision making rights and the child resides with each parent an equal amount of time.

In most states, child support arrears can only be reduced by court order dating back to the date the petition was made. Your best bet is to hire an attorney to file the proper paperwork whiile you are in prison.

everything you own the child

In Kentucky, if a parent leaves without providing money or communication to a child for over 6 months it is considered child abandonment. If this happens, the parents rights can be taken away.

if you are over 18 then no, but under 18 then yes, both of your parents have the right.

Child support in Oregon is calculated on many factors including both parents' gross incomes, allowable deductions, number of children, who is covering what expenses and parenting time. There is no "average" amount.

The child support is to "support the child"...figure it out.

If he has no taxable expenses in the child then he cant claim on tax.

As the saying goes, "A verbal agreement isn't worth the paper that it written on" if in court both parties agree they had this agreement and are wiling to abide by it then the court wll consider its legal validity. However if one party disavows or denys this agreement in court then the court will probably not give it any consideration.

The one resposible for dowry is the greed of of money among in the people.

When people will stop taking dowry then dowry will be stopped at that moment.

Not at all. Although it might be hard to collect, incarceration doesn't change the amount of past-due support owed, and current support continues to accumulate unless/until the court enters an order otherwise. (FYI, support cannot be modified/terminated retroactively.)

Ordinarily child support will cease on the child's 18th birthday unless there are mitigating circumstances. If it's a case of back child support, it is owed to the custodial parent who carried the financial burden during the period of nonpayment.

A writ of body attachment is like a warrant, where it allows the sheriff to arrest you and bring you before the court to explain why you have not showed up to a prior hearing or proceeding. Often, there is a bond requirement that must be paid before being released if you are arrested on a writ of body attachment. These usually occur after failure to pay child support or failure to attend a motion to show cause. See this Illinois rule for an example: http://www.19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/rules/rules15.htm#1505

You learn from the actions around you, which shape your character or personality, due to the people you're with or would like to be. Also, your brain develops at an early age to defer what they comprehend and remember from experience, social interaction, and mental memorization.

Your personal identity is shaped by both environment and heredity. During the centuries there has been more emphasis on one or the other. But today we assume that certain characteristics, e.g. intelligence and social adaptiveness are shaped both by the quality of your genes and by parental influence. It's like a flower that will blossom most beautifully with the best natural characteristic and the right soil.

This depends on where you live and if either parent is making a claim through the government dept eg: IRD (New Zealand). Both parents are able to claim against each other in this process and the difference in amounts calculated because of previous years earnings is paid to the parent who earnt the least.

you have to pay child support as long as your child is under 18 years of age

In some states a male does become an adult at the age of 18. * There are not discriminatory laws relating to the age at which a minor becomes a legal adult. The age of majority laws apply equally to both genders. In most states the legal age of majority is 18, in Nebraska it is 19. Three other states have confusing legal age laws because the statutory law conflict with the constitutional law. This allows the state to apply the law that is most effective in individual circumstances (child support for example). Those states are Mississippi and Washington D.C. where the constitutional law is 21 and the statutory law is 18; and Alabama where the constitutional law is 19 and statutory law is 18. In addition all persons reaching the age of 18 have the legal right to vote regardless of the state's age of majority. All states also have age restricted or waived laws pertaining to buying and consumption of alcohol, etc. and the age at which a minor can be charged and prosecuted as an adult for a criminal offense.

If a person helps to create a child, they should help to support the child. In Nebraska a person can stop paying child support at the age of 19. This is unless the child is emancipated by the court, marries or dies.

Georgia uses a formula system rather than percentage. see link below

A custodial parent has legal authority over a child. The custodial parent has the right to make any decision that affects the child such as school, medical treatment, daycare, religious training, sports, etc.

A non custodial parent does not have the legal authority to make any decisions, choices or sign any legal documents that affect the child although generally, a visitation schedule can be ordered by the court and the custodial parent must obey that order.

Joint Custody gives both parents equal authority to make decisions that affect the child and both must consent to any decisions regarding school, medical treatment, religious training, sports, etc. With joint custody one parent may be awarded physical custody and as such will be awarded child support.

No; however, the State can file a lien on the home which will have to be satisfied before ownership is transferred.

What schools seem to teach these days is that "state's rights" was a purely southern concept and important only in the latitude it allowed for slavery. The fact is that "states rights" was THE LAW OF THE LAND. After the Revolution the colonies had won their independence and what existed in America was not ONE nation, but thirteen little independent nations, which had loosely cooperated to beat the British. After a few years it became evident that a central government with a bit more power than that allowed by the Articles of Confederation would be a good thing. The thirteen little independent nations sent delegates to the Constitutional Convention where they agreed to give up ONLY PART of their sovereignty as independent states to the new Federal government. All governmental authority was in the states, and, again, they wished to cede ONLY PART of this to the new national government. Everyone understood this at the time but many states still would not ratify the new proposed Constitution until it was explicitly spelled out in the Constitution. So, the 10th Amendment to the Unites States Constitution was included in the original Bill of Rights. The amendment says:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The powers which WERE delegated to the United States (the Federal Government) were delegated BY the states. When the Constitution was drafted what the framers who wrote it had in mind was a central government of LIMITED POWERS. The states had all governmental power, and if they wished to surrender only a limited, specific amount of that power to the new central government, they were certainly entitled to do that, and that is in fact what they did. They were replacing the Articles of Confederation, which had allowed for a central government so weak as to be ineffective. They wished to strengthen the Federal Government some, but retain most governmental power at the state level.

The 10th Amendment is part of the original Bill of Rights. The proponents of the new Constitution had a hard job convincing people to support the new Constitution, and several states would not even consider ratifying the new Constitution until the Bill of Rights was attached to it. Thus this language was part of the Constitution from the start.

"State's rights" was, in fact, the law of the land from the beginning. The Federal Government had only limited, specific functions. All other governmental power remained with the states.

The sad thing is, its STILL the law of the land. The 10th Amendment has never been repealed - its still right there in the Bill of Rights of which we are so proud. It just means absolutely nothing today. It was effectively nullified by the Civil War, without the agreement of the people. This is one result of the Civil War - though the nation started with a central government of limited powers, and people had to be persuaded to even agree to those limited powers, the Civil War, among other things, was a massive power shift from the state capitals to Washington. Governments LIKE power, so don't expect Washington DC to ever give back the primacy it obtained at gunpoint in the Civil War. What you can expect to see instead is continued growth of the Federal Government, and continued encroachment into every facet of the lives of every citizen of every state. This has been the long term trend since the Civil War ended. Its some of the worst hypocrisy of American life that we continue to revere the Bill of Rights but nobody ever wants to mention little facts like these. You're supposed to believe the war was about nothing but slavery and evil southerners and you're not supposed to notice that somehow in there, we went from having a central government of limited powers to the monolithic colossus poking its nose into everything and everybody's business we have today, which is something that nobody agreed to, and which seldom serves the interests of the average person.
