Child Support

Yes, even if the fathers name is not on birth certificate she can go to the local Child Support Enforcement & open up a case against him. It helps if you know the SSN, last or current job & last or current place of residency. This will help them move faster in getting what is owed to your child. If you don't have all or some of the information it will take longer. Hope this helps.

Yes, and you shouldn't even be asking this question unless the child is not yours. If the child is proven not to be yours you don't have to pay child support, but you will have to fork out the money to get the gene test done and I believe it can range anywhere from $1200/$1500. It takes two to have a child! It's tough raising a child and tally it up! Even when your baby was born it cost plenty, and the price on raising children just keeps going up. A woman can't do it alone on the wages she usually makes. You are responsible as well for your child(ren) and never forget that. Now, in fairness to you, if you had custody of your child, then I believe your wife should help out to support this child. Also, if the wife has an excellent career position in a corporation and makes more than the husband she should pay for the bulk of child support, but the father of the child should put what he can afford towards his own child. Custody has nothing to do with it. If she refuses (by court) to let you see your child and you are thinking "why should I pay when I can't even see my son/daughter" then look at yourself as the man you should be. Your child is going to grow up and wonder who his/her father is. Be a man! You could still have a relationship in later years with your son or daughter. What do you want them to think of you as ... a responsible man or a loafer? I worked up North in Canada, and many men fled the coop working in far off construction camps to get away from child support. I have absolutately no sympathy for men such as this. I "red tagged" them, because the RCMP would come looking for them anyway. I would give a "red list" of the men they were looking for and never once regretted it. These men made big bucks, and I saw one man lose a weeks wages of $5700 on a roll of dice while his wife and kids back home struggled in every day life. Some of the men confronted me in my office and I nailed their hides to the wall. Some moaned and groaned while others thought about it and before I knew it they were cashing their checks and giving me the money to send off to their kids. They took an interest and even asked what I thought was fair if they had anywhere from 1 - 4 kids. Whatever I asked of them (and I was fair to the men) they paid and I shipped the money off to their wives. The wives were more than thankful and let me know it. A man is not a man if their don't face their responsibilites. I hope you are one of the ones that feels they should contribute to their child's welfare. After all, this child is innocent and didn't ask to be born into this world. Marcy

The statute of limitations is the amount of time a prosecutor or an individual has to file civil or criminal charges. The statute of limitations in the state of Arkansas for wrongful death is one year following the death of an individual.

Depends on where you live, how much you make and can also depend on how much custody you have of the kids. Child support is usually a percentage of net income (e.g., in Illinois, 20% for one child, 25% for two children).

You can't be jailed for not paying child support as that's illegal. You get jailed for contempt of court, so it's up to the interpretation of the judge. However, in this economy where they are needing to release non-violent rapists due to lack of funding to house them, which would you rather see in jail, the rapist or the father in arrears in child support?

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age unless the child is still in high school - in which case the support ends upon the child's graduation from high school, or the child's 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. Child support may continue past that time if the child is disabled and only by court order.

not if the adoption was voluntary and not a result of any court order declaring her unfit as a parent to that child.

There are no set time limits for such action. Several states do have laws that relate to the time period in which a parent can be charged with abandonment of a child, abandonment being defined as non-support, not the physical act itself. Termination of parental rights are based on the merits of the case in question. The reason being that circumstances can be such that the absentee parent has no control over the matter, such as being incarcerated, military duty, physical impairments, geographical conflicts and so forth.

There is not a universal answer to your question. You need to review your particular child support order and the laws in your state. If you have questions you should visit the court that issued the order.

By law, support generally ends when the child attains majority (this varies among the States) and/or finishes high school (some orders provide for support during post-high school education), or becomes emancipated (generally, self-supporting). Support for children with severe disabilities may continue into their adulthood. There is no statute of limitations on collecting past-due support.

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.

SSI cannot be garnished. SSDI has a separate child benefit check, so a modification should be made so that the obligation will equal it, but any arrears can still be deducted. however, if some or all of those arrears are a result of the time period between becoming disable,and being approved for disability, a retroactive reduction motion should also be filed.

A court will rarely issue a court order that the father cannot see the child unless it is in the best interest of the child due to some type of abuse or criminal activity or unhealthy environment. If he chooses to not see the child he must still pay child support. The mother should make certain she keeps the child support order current and complains to the court if he doesn't pay regularly.

Until age 24 in females, and age 30 in males. See related links.

First, you may not be allowed to terminate the child support order voluntarily because the child is entitled to the support from both parents. If it is possible the custodial parent would need to file a voluntary termination at the court that issued the order and there would be no more payments due.

i don,t know if state laws are different, but in my state if the father is alive he has to waive his parental rights if he has any. or if you can't get him to do that and you atleast want her lastname changed you have to go through the courts for a name change, if your child is over 14yrs they can request it, if not the father is supposed to agree, but there ways around that, if you prove that you cant find him or that he hasn't been around in years, you can ask for a judgment. you should be able to get the paperwork @ the courthouse and they will explain it

Yes. Your social security disabilty check can be garnished for child support or government debts, like student loans, although im not sure of the maximum they can take . ( 15% of Gross Amount of Check)

First, he must have a good reason to convince the court that the child would be better off in his custody. He would need to convince the court that the mother is unfit and the mother's custody is not in the best interest of the child. The health, safety, and welfare of children is always the court's primary concern in determining the best interest of children when making any orders regarding the physical or legal custody or visitation of children

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control 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 seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can petition for custody. The court will schedule a hearing and the father must present his evidence and argument. The court will review the testimony and evidence to determine if a change in custody is warranted and render a decision. At the same time the court will address child support and if the father is not awarded custody he can request a visitation schedule.

In (MOST) states. If a child is still in school and still living at home.

They can make you pay up to 19 1/2 years of age and possibly 7 years of college! So worst case is 26 1/2 years of child support.

Hope your kid is not too motivated! lol

Certainly. However, the bank account may get garnished or attached by the court to pay back amounts.

Yes sibling by blood would count as that as long as you have contact or live together.

No, paternity would need to be established, and even than, it is dependent on state laws. See related question

File an appeal with the state child support enforcement agency that is in charge of the case. That agency is the only one that can take any action on a FTO order. The only acceptable reasons for not having a refund seized are...

You are not the person who owes the money. You owe less than the qualifying debt that has been set by the state in which the order was issued. You are currently in bankruptcy action. You have an order from the state court preventing the seizure of the refund(s).

You would insert the tip of the enema bottle in the rectum, and then inject the fluid into them. I would highly recommend that you lubricate the tip with some type of vasoline or KY jelly, as the rectum is very tender and at a young age may be very small. The rate at which you inject is up to your discretion, i prefer to make it quick and painless.. this prevents the fluid from dripping and not making it in.

There are many public assistance programs in America today. The most common one is welfare, but there are housing assistance programs, food assistance programs available also depending upon where you live. The first place for a person to start is their church.
