Child Support

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.

[if you're the obligor] Show the court that: you have custody of the child; the child is deceased; the child has been adopted; the child is emancipated; the child has attained majority; and/or you have no income other than public assistance; AND, you do not owe any past-due support.

18. However the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody/visitation is being decided or request a modification to the original visitation order by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes. Your family court may also offer mediation as an option.

Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.

While there is no statue of limitation for collecting court ordered unpaid back child support, there is for unordered support...the age of 21 of the dependent child. The child at the age of 18 may sue the noncustodial parent for unpaid support that was not ordered by the courts. This has been done at least twice.

According to the Revised Code of Washington, any person who deserts a child in any manner with the intent to abandon is guilty of the crime of family abandonment. This is a class C felony and punishable by up to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine.

If he is the legal father of the child, then he has an obligation to support that child. You can contact child support enforcement in your state or you can retain an attorney and file in the local family court. This is the usual step since you will be asking the court to enter a child custody order at the same time.

yep, if your wife and chilren leave the state i am pretty sure you can be still married because when you get married you usually have to sign a form that says i am legally married no matter what

That depends on the child support order. In most places, child support continues until the child reaches the age of majority. Some may require continued payments through the college years if they attend.

If you mean as a witness, that usually depends on the attorneys. They will usually assess if the child knows the truth from fiction first. If it is determined that the child knows the truth, then yes the child can testify. If not, then no. If you mean as an audience member, while the trial is in progress, then no.

No. That is the whole point and one of the criteria required when you apply - you have to be able to support yourself like all emancipated adults. In some states the emancipation can be undone and you have to move back home if you can not care for yourself.

No. Any change in custody must be done pursuant to a court order by the court with jurisdiction over the case.

No. Any change in custody must be done pursuant to a court order by the court with jurisdiction over the case.

No. Any change in custody must be done pursuant to a court order by the court with jurisdiction over the case.

No. Any change in custody must be done pursuant to a court order by the court with jurisdiction over the case.

Child support would stop for that period of time the parent is incarcerated unless they have some other means of legitimate income that would continue during the time they are in jail and could be diverted for that purpose. Child support obligations would resume upon their release and they would be expected to pay the amount that accumulated while they were in jail.
