Child Support

Definitely not. If child support was stipulated in the final divorce decree, you have a legal issue where the court will haul him in and the judge will order him to pay or face contempt of court. If this is not in the final decree documentation, then you will need to file a lawsuit against the guy ... even if that rules in your favor, there is no guarantee that you will get the $4k. They could haul him into jail, but that would absolutely guarantee non payment as few get paid anything at all in prison.

I can only tell you by my recent experience, I am as well a single mother, my sons father is not on the birth certificate, until it is established in court and he has established visitation and custody you have sole custody, this was told to me by the sheriffs office as well as a lawyer, but the one thing that they can do is hold it against you in court is if you withhold the child from him and do not let him see the child. I've been going through hell with this now. It's been a power struggle and he is trying to play a game of tug of war with our son.

Yes, but in some States this must be done fairly soon after the birth certificate was signed.

Pay them.Child support and the IRS are what we call forever debts,not a court in this land would dismiss either one.Bankruptcy court can not touch them,you can list but trust me when you sell these people will get there monies....

My son is in his fifth year at college. He is 23 years old. When can i apply with the courts to have him emanciapted?

What is the reason. IF the child is in any danger or the sort then the parent has every right. If it is just a control issue then all the grandparents could do is be the bigger people and see what it is that will make the contoller happy. There is not legality of visitation with grandparents unless lets say their child passed away and the only way they can see the child is through the in-law then they can try to force visitation.... This can be for a myriad of reasons. If you are the grandparents, you need to accept the parent's decision as being best for the child, while remaining open to the possibility that the child will find you once he/she is older. Alternatively, ask the parent what they need for you to have visits. Then, follow the rules without argument or by amending them when the parents are not present. If you want to do something, ask. Then, do exactly as the parent wishes. Sometimes there are other issues--physical or verbal abuse, alcoholism, driving without child seats, etc. that the parent sees as unsafe for the child, and those are hard to overcome. Suing or otherwise forcing visitation on the parents does not bode well for future family relationships.

Generally the obligor is responsible for paying the arrears even if the child reaches the age when support is no longer required. However, the custodial parent must stay on top of the issue and file the necessary motion for contempt and/or child support enforcement claim.

Child support in Alabama ends when the child turns 18 or leaves school whichever happens LAST.

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. The court has the discretion to order child support and educational expenses for children attending high school when the child is 18 or for 90 days after graduation. Child support will not be awarded for a child 19 years or older. If the child suffers from disabilities that require care and expense, the court may award support until he or she reaches 21 years of age.

The father of the child (whether he was ever legally married to the child's mother or not) is obligated to pay the child support. His new spouse cannot be LEGALLY obligated to pay it since she has no part in the action at all, but there is no bar to her helping her husband pay it if she wishes to do so.

Children often sleep with their parents because they are scared of the dark, monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet, they saw a bug in their room, or just because they're lonely. The average child stops this around age 6, but if it continues, don't worry. They will eventually grow out of it. But if you get worried, take them to mental therapy.

You lose. If the defendant doesn't show up for their notified court hearing, a default judgment will be made against them. If the plaintiff doesn't show up, the case will be dismissed. In the case of a defendant, the plaintiff will then go about collecting the award through garnishment of wages and placing liens on property.

IT is a good idea assuming the custodial parent has sole custody or sole legal custody of the child. Otherwise, most states will administer medical care to a child with either

parent present and will administer life saving measures without anyone present though they would be unable to continue treatment beyond emergency stabilization without a parent or guardian consent

YES.

Perhaps.

If you already have a court order you don't need to sue, you just need to collect. If you don't have a court order that is going to be a state by state and judge by judge question. Almost across the board you will get support from when you file the case if you get a support order. However there is no answer on when you can get back due before you file. Ask for it. You may get it. And you may not.

Most states have SOL's pertaining to child support arrearages.

Of course! The amount of support will decrease per child, based on the number of children he is supporting. However, he will owe child support for each of his children that he is not the custodial parent of.
Of course.

Minor children are only eligible for SS benefits when a parent dies. In cases such as mentioned above, once a child has been legally adopted the biological parent is no longer responsible for the financial welfare of that child.

Visit your local family court and ask how to get your claim started. You can request a paternity test to confirm his paternity and then the court can establish a support order. There should be an advocate available at the court who can explain the process for you and help you file the necessary forms. Once his paternity has been established he cannot avoid his obligation to support his child. Keep in mind that the father can also request a visitation order once his paternity has been established.

One payment should be enough. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

in ca.my fiance claims the taxes because she has custody of her son more than 50% of the time. if you have your child over half the year in your custody you should legally be able to claim the child on your taxes if you have a problem the court will give you an order in writing.

It depends on the reason you did not show up. If you received notice and didn't appear, the court will issue a default judgment against you. If you had no notice and the court has no proof of service then you may be able to file a motion to vacate due to your not being served a summons.

Go to court house with a certified copy of the child's birth certificate a few weeks or a month before their 21st birthday and they will get the child support stopped.

No, the non-custodial parent does not have to pay child support to the custodial parent, but the non-custodial parent needs to go to the local child support office and notify them of the change. but if you have back pay u may have to pay that. [edit: correct in theory, however, you would have to bring the new circumstances in front of a judge in most states. Given that the support is court ordered, the restructure of the support needs to be adjusted in court. To do this, you can either contact your attorney, or you can file to bring it before a judge yourself. Generally this form is called "To ammend a child support formula". But it can have other names. To be sure, contact the clerk of courts in your county. The child will be appointed a "Guardian ad Litem" to support the child's rights. Of course, depending upon the age of the child, the funds could be diverted directly to that child. Again, contact your local COC or your attny. to be sure.]

If "giving up custody" refers to a parent voluntarily relinquishing their parental rights to a minor child or children the consequences of a TPR being granted is that the parent loses all rights to the minor child/children permanently. A TPR cannot be rescinded by the parent nor revoked by the court. TPR decrees are not for the purpose of allowing a non custodial parent to be relieved of his or her financial obligations to minor children. They are usually only granted by the court to allow minor children to become eligible for adoption.
