Child Support

Contact your local Department of Human Services immediately and let them know about the situation. You may be able to have child support reduced.

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 and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

The only time you can take a father off of child support is if the mother agrees with it, but that rarely happens, so I'm going to have to say no, it's very rare, the closest you can get to not paying AT ALL, is reducing the pay .

No. The 16 year old must wait until the case is settled. * Legally, no, but it is highly unlikely the court would order the minor to return to the custodial parent's home unless the non custodial parent was not supplying an acceptable living environment.

I am a non custodial parent and I am trying to get my kids for the summer as it states on my divorce papers. My lawyer just told me yes you do have to pay but your payment will be cut like an half cause the custodial parent still has bills to pay reguardless if child is there or not. There is some paper work you have to fill out and send into child support. I dont know what the form is call child support ofc and ask them. My lawyer is sending mine. Good luck

It depends on the language of the court order.

Not sure in what context you mean, but yes a court order can garnish your wages for child support. IF the custodial parent has filed a support order and paternity has been established then YES absolutely your wages can be garnished.

If you mean that a creditor filed judgment against you and you are the one receiving child support, they cannot touch that money, but if you are getting those direct deposited and the creditor attaches the order to your bank account the child support can be taken indirectly that way.

Good luck

Call the phone number on your court papers. Or call your court representitive. It is very important to be up-front in all of your dealings with the court. In some states you can not leave the county with your child. * If custodial petitions have been filed then the child or children cannot be removed from the jurisdiction of the home state without the permission of the court.

I've seen it happen frequently to fathers. The mother runs off. He hopes she'll come back, so he doesn't even file for child support. She comes back, he lets her see the children. While in possession of them, she files against him.

No but that adult child's parent can file a claim for child support arrears that have been determined by the court. The arrears are due to the parent. You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the family court as soon as possible if there is a substantial amount owed. Claims against an estate must be filed promptly.

If there is no child support owed that is in arrears, for Kentucky child support orders, the child support order ends when the child turns 18, unless he or she is still enrolled in high school, in which case child support would continue through the school year in which the child turns 19. Under certain circumstances, child support may continue past the child turning 18 (or 19 if still in high school) if ordered by the court. If the support order is for more than one child, the support obligation will not automatically end when one of the children reaches 18 (or 19 if still in high school) unless that child is the youngest child or the child support order listed a separate amount of child support for each child. If neither of these conditions exists, a request for a review of the child support obligation must be submitted before any change in the obligation amount can be made.

If child support is in arrears, it will continue until the past due amount is completely satisfied.

No, a spouses income is never taken into consideration when child support is being figured. Only the income of the 2 biological parents will be used.

I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.

No. And if someone argues the point, seek legal advice. Child support is designed to help provide for the child, not the parent who receives the child support. Maintenance is the only thing that ceases upon marriage or living with an unrelated male.

Even if you remarry, the child support continues until the child is "emancipated" which means either 21 or working full time living outside the home. College does not count as emancipation, and payments must continue until 21.

The one thing that my change however is the amount of child support that is paid. In New York State you may submit your previous years earning information prior to Feb 15th of EACH year and your ex-spouse will be required to do the same. The court issues an adjustment (if appropriate) within a few weeks.

If you feel as if you are receiving to little or paying too much, both sides may take advantage of the recalculation to keep things fair to everyone involved.

Yes and no. All moneys sent to your college will be used by the college first. If the college issues you back a refund check, then that's considered income if you deposit it into a garnished bank account. There is an easy remedy to all of this: Set-up a payement plan with the state to satisfy your child support.

Yes, you can relinquish your parental rights, however, if you are doing so to avoid payment of child support, most courts will not approve the relinquishment. Ultimately, the court will still have to say that it is in the best interest of the child. That normally will not be done unless there is someone willing and able to adopt in your place.

Assuming the court accepts the petition, the judge may or may not relieve the requesting parent of financial obligations. The court will not look favorably upon a parent who makes such a request if the purpose is to avoid supporting the minor child/children.

Generally the relinquishment of parental rights is only granted when the child is to be legally adopted by a new spouse.

SSI? No.
SSDI? For arrears. Continuing payments can be adjusted to match the child benefit check. see links.

Child support services should be notified that two deductions are being made and that there is only a court order for one deduction. Unless what they are doing is each taking half in which case you aren't really being screwed, but I would still get them to agree to only have one agency deduct the money. see link

This issue of how parent discipline a child can not be over emphasized, but a child can't do well in life without the support of the parent.

Firstly, who can we call parent?

1) A parent is a person or people who gave birth to a child biologically.

2) A parent can also be referred to as takes care of a person below the age of

eighteen.

3) A arent can be a person or people who leads one in the right and positive

way of life.

Discipline is a thing of the hearth and can only gain full effect if properly the principle are well explained to the child. The act of discipline could actually be effective if love comes first...

TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE/SHE SHOULD GO SO THAT THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT... WHEN NEED ARISE!!!

That depends on related factors in consideration by the court. Does the mother receive child support already? How much financial support and for how long has the stepparent been providing? Is there a parent/child relationship? see link below

In depends on the state. In some states, the custodial parent can voluntarily decline to receive child support. In other states, the non-custodial parent is legally required to pay child support, whether or not the custodial parent accepts it.

Contact your State's child support agency and/or the child support agency in your ex's State.

Generally not. Of course, there are multiple exceptions. If the noncustodial parent begins earning significantly more income, then child support usually will increase. Most states have a "plug-in" type formula which computes child support (and one of the prime factors includes the income of the noncustodial parent).

In some states the guidelines call for an increase since it gets more expensive to raise a child as they get older. Massachusetts is one such state.

You should visit your local family court and ask for a copy of the child support guidelines in your state of perform an online search for a downloadable copy.

Siddhartha's father, King Shuddodana only wanted the best for his son. He had bought 3 palaces for him, one for the winter, rainy season, and summer. Shuddodana gave him everything he could ever have wanted, only so that Siddhartha would never have to go through suffering himself, or see anyone else in that state.
