Child Support

The guidelines for the support of a child in this section are specifically designed to apply to situations in which the obligor's monthly net resources are $6,000 or less. If the obligor's monthly net resources are $6,000 or less, the court shall presumptively apply the following schedule in rendering the child support order:

# of children

Percentage of Obligor's

Net Resources

1

20%

2

25%

3

30%

4

35%

5

40%

6 or more

Not less than the amount for 5 children

If the obligor's net resources exceed $6,000 per month, the court shall presumptively apply the percentage guidelines to the first $6,000 of the obligor's net resources. Without further reference to the percentage recommended by these guidelines, the court may order additional amounts of

child support as appropriate, depending on the income of the parties and the proven needs of the child.

Sections 154.125 and 154.126 Texas Family Code

However, it should be noted that under federal law, all child support is rebuttable. This means the final order and be high or lower than the guideline amount, depending of evidence presented to the court on the ability of the obligor parent to pay.

It depends upon a lot of factors - where you live, rather or not the mother is agreeable to his name being placed on the birth certificate, if there is already a father listed on the birth certificate, if the mother was married to someone else at the time she gave birth, etc., etc.

If the child lived with you for over 50% of the year (183 out of 365 days) then yes, you can claim the child as a dependent on your tax return, even if they don't live with you now.

Well I found this link. If you have not all ready contacted you local area DHS for Child Support then you can go to this link on line and take a look through it.

I cannot find a definite answer that they would take the new wife's income of your ex husband's towards child support in Mn.

I know they do in Utah and they do in Maine.

So I cannot find a link that tells me in black and white that yes they do take and will take a calculation of the wife's income. I think you have to request it from the looks of things, I found this link here.

Either way they even state to contact your local Child Support Division and/or your Attorney.

If the child is definitely yours, then certainly.

Many states provide adoption assistance through the child welfare/protective services agency.

If the man signed the birth certificate or was married to the mother at the time was born, in many states that would make him the presumptive and legal father with all rights and responsibilities (including child support) incurred. The term is "equitable paternity" and the circumstances and locations where it may apply vary.

For specific information, you should confer with an attorney with a specialty in family law in your state of residence.

Unfortunately the custodial parent would not be successful in attempting to enforce a support order against a non custodial parent who resides outside the U.S. Neither state nor federal agencies have legal jurisdiction in such civil matters.

What is possible is, any assets such as bank accounts and property belonging to the non custodial parent that is within U.S. jurisdiction can be appropriated and used for the absentee parent's child support obligations.

In some situations the custodial parent can file a lawsuit for support in the country where the non custodial parent resides. This action, however, can be very expensive and lengthy in nature with no guarantee of support enforcement even if an award is granted.

Try to stay calm and let the mother of your child know ( that is if your on good terms) to not let the boyfriend physically discipline your child. Express how spanking is not a healthy way of discipline in the first place. Elaborate on the effects of such behavior such as rebellion from the child, resentment toward the mother from the child for letting her boyfriend carry out these unsolicited and inappropriate acts of unofficial stepfather aggression. Whatever it is he may have a issue with that would dry him to think he needs to do that needs to be handled by the real father, but no spanking. There are alot of repercussions for child abuse minor or major. This subject should be raised to the boyfriend and leave it up to his imagination to come up with what they are whether it comes from the law or the real daddy-there are consequences. ( Maybe real daddy should evaluate why he's not there to take care his own child )

It is not easy to voluntarily surrender parental rights. If it were, there would be long lines of people trying to do it in an attempt to avoid paying child support. However Georgia law does have these provisions:

Your parental rights may be involuntarily terminated for the following reasons:

Commission of a violation of the Georgia domestic relations code to effect an involuntary surrender. The court may surrender parental rights without a petition or voluntary consent if the following situations are present: child is abandoned by the parent, parent cannot be found after a diligent search, parent is insane or parent has abused or neglected the child. In any of these instances, the court will terminate the parent's rights if it is in the best interests of the child under Ga. Code Title 19 Sec. 8 § 19-8-10.

Voluntary termination may occur if the child is placed in a state agency or put up for adoption pursuant to Ga. Code Title 19 Sec. 8 § 19-8-4. This statute also applies if the mother marries and her husband wishes to adopt the child.

You also have the option to petition the court to surrender parental rights. If a voluntary written waiver is not an option and you do not fall within one of the above categories for involuntary surrender, you may draft and file a petition to surrender your parental rights. Your petition should set forth facts as to why a termination of rights is in the best interests of the child not in your best interests (ie, you don't want to assume parental responsibility). The court will make a decision based on the facts set forth in your petition. (See, Ga. Code Title 19 Sec. 8 § 19-8-11 ).

If the courts find that such termination would not have good cause or not be in the best interests of the child, your petition may be denied.

Parents must support their biological children regardless of the circumstances and regardless if a child support order is in place. Judges take an extremely critical view of a parent whether it be the father or mother who neglect their parental responsibilties. The morality of such action is an entirely different issue.

You don't.

A court order is a directive by a judge. You would file a motion or petition seeking a court order.

In the United States, you do not need an attorney to file a motion to a court. However, if you want it done right and you want to make sure the judge pays attention to it, it helps. It especially helps if you want to be sure that you are filing the correct motion.

Federal sets the requirement to suspend a Visa at $5000.

This is dependent on each state and it's resources for doing so. Many now provide email notifications. You can get a printout from any CSE office. As them about online access and email alerts.

Children are not "emancipated" from child support. They are "entitled" to financial support by the non-custodial parent.

In general, children become emancipated by leaving their parent(s)' house and becoming self-supporting. Child support is usually not due for an emancipated child.

If a person violates probation for child support they may be jailed. The punishment will vary depending on the laws in the state.

no, the child supports you.

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.

Parents are the biggest influence on a child. The parent that the child is with the most, the child will act like them the most. When a parent does something mean or rude or they cuss then the child thinks its okay to do that, which its not. The child is with there parents the most, therefore the parents have a huge influence on their children

You can sue your boyfriend for child support in family court, then file the order in his country of residence through the international court system. Depending on what country he lives in, a court order from the United States may or may not be upheld.

ABSOLUTELY! DO NOT DO IT! As tempting as it may seem it is against the law and odds are you WILL be caught. Most states require the signature to be notarized so that would ONLY be possible if the notary was willing to risk charges as well and notarize the fraudulent signature

I am not familiar with support laws in Indiana, but generally NACD refers to the number of natural and adopted minor children within the family that are receiving support via a parent and/or governmental agency. "Natural Adopted Dependent Children." The "U" designation might be specific to the state's statute related to support of minors.

Depends on the reason for the non-payment. Only 3% of child support obligors refuse to pay for no significant reason. The remainder are due to unemployment and indigent status in the poor economy. Currently, the Southern Center for Human Rights is suing the state of Georgia for the jailing of unemployed and unemployable fathers for child support arrears they can not possibly pay.

As for the lost of parent rights, the cost to society for fatherless children is significantly higher than any amount of child support owed and paid. Over 90% of those committing crime were raised without a father, so this issue needs to be addressed lightly as it has significant and far reaching detriments to society in general.

If by "back support" you mean retroactive support (support due for a period prior to the entry of the first order), no. If you mean past-due support (support that accrued as the result of an order), yes. The statute of limitations never runs on past-due support.

it depends on what state you live in. but in most states you can. you might want to go to your local court office and ask someone there. im sure someone would know. or you could even ask a police officer, they would know.
