Do you still have to pay child support if you move out of state?

Not unless the child is age of majority (usually 18) in your state. Moving out does not emancipate them and until then you are obligated to support them. A minor can also not move out without your consent and you are still responsible for what they do.

I agree.

Can a child be adopted if he is over 16?

Even adults can be legally adopted, if an older adult wants to adopt them. Some childless persons will adopt non-relatives they're fond of, to give themselves an heir or a family member.

Can a father sign over parental rights to an unborn child in Alabama?

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.

Who has custody if the father of your child and you never were married?

File a motion with the courts in the county in which you live to determine custody. You will probably need an attorney or mediator to help you put together a custody agreement. Both parents will need to agree to all the terms of the agreement and then you are both bound to the agreement unless you choose to amend it.

How does the father of a child go about signing his rights over to another man?

Impossible to answer without much more information. Some states do NOT allow the biological father to sign away their so-called 'rights' especially when it comes to child support issues. You would have to either be more specific with your information or research your own states laws on the subject.

If a married man has a child outside of his marriage is he financially responsible to this woman?

The answer depends on where they live and the laws in their jurisdiction. In most states the husband is automatically assumed to be the child's father unless there are documents filed that establish another man as the child's father and deny the husband's paternity. If you find yourself in this position you should consult with an attorney immediately.

Can a car be repossessed for back child support?

You need to check the provisions in the separation agreement and divorce decree. In some case they are addressed separately in some they are not. It often depends on the skill of your attorney.

Is child support considered income when living in section 8 housing?

Filing for child support and receiving a housing choice voucher (section 8) have nothing to do with each other. However, some housing authorities may require for you to apply for any benefits to which you are entitled.

Do parents have a favorite child?

It has been my experience that Mothers naturally love all their children and try to do so equally. However, children and mothers are people too and sometimes two people can simply get on with one another better - if this did not happen we would never make friends - and this can happen within families which means that sometimes a mother seems to favor one child.

Can rental property be used as income for child support?

ye, but like any business, not the gross income from it. It will be determinant based on any net profit, minus set asides for potential future expenses, such as replacement cost of an AC/Heating unit.

How to get your child to eat?

The answer to this question could fill hundreds of pages, so I'll try to just give you one actionable strategy.

First off, information flies through the air, nowadays. You have to be a mountain hermit to not know the current attitudes regarding, salt, carbs and GMOs.

If your child has specific medical needs, make sure you arm the two of you with as much information as possible on his/her dietary particulars.

Okay, given ALL OF THAT, here's the plan. Don't necessarily make a military case out of it (unless we're talking about something like a peanut allergy). Here are some simple rules. Don't keep contraband in the house. Save the burgers or candy for occasions that become the exception and not the rule. If the child is headed for a birthday party, don't lecture them about not eating this or that. Just fill 'em up on healthy food before they leave your house. They'll be less likely to fill up on party junk that way. One thing that is reaching epidemic proportions (besides portions and caloric density) is eating disorders. Let's take the drama and panic away from the concept of "eating right."

Teach kids the difference between a documentary and a cartoon, the difference between food and a junk snack, so that they can make real choices, because isn't that our job, to teach kids how to move through the world when we're not around?

How do you get a copy of your childsupport payments?

Some states are now offering a service by which you can sign up to receive a quarterly statement, but otherwise you need to visit your child support enforcement office in order to request one. This should be done every 3-6 months.

Can a man give up parental rights in the state of VA to avoid child support?

Any parent can give up their parental rights and a lot of them do simply because they believe that once they do, they will not pay child support.

This is not the case.... Many states will schedule an investigation in order to find out the reason for giving up parental rights.

Also, in many cases, you will still PAY child support even if you have surrendered your rights.

Why do fathers abandon children?

* They were never mature enough to commit when they married. * Lacks responsibility. * Has fallen out of love with his wife. This is quite common. * Decides he wants his freedom. * Never wanted children. * Jealous of the baby because his wife spends more time with the baby than him. This is normal for a first time mother, but some men find this hard to understand. * Loves women too much and needs several women at one time. * Financial problems. Having a child is not cheap and he may be tired of living from pay check to pay check. Any man who is married and fathers a child and abandons the wife and child isn't much of a man. He should have communicated to his wife what his needs were and if he wanted out of the marriage he should be willing to pay Child Support.

Do you pay child support if you are bankrupt?

No, in fact you have to be caught up on child support in order to file for bankruptcy. Your lawyer may have a way around that but you will still owe the money. You shouldn't look at child support as a bill but rather a way of supporting your child.

Why are you in arrears? If you were hit with a multi year retroactive order on a child you didn't know existed, or there was a clearly valid reason for not paying the full amount, than you may have grounds for a retroactive reduction, according to Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. see links below

You do not have to be "caught up" on child support in order to file for bankruptcy; however, child support is not discharged in bankruptcy.

Why child rights are important?

All of the right stated in the constitution belong to both adults and children. For instance, if i am 13 yrs old, which i am not, i have just as much of the right to bear arms as a 50 yr old. Children have the same if not more right as an adult.

" Children's rights are the human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to the young,[1] including their right to association with both biological parents, human identity as well as the basic needs for food, universal state-paid education, health care and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child.[2] Interpretations of children's rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the enforcement of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse, though what constitutes "abuse" is a matter of debate. Other definitions include the rights to care and nurturing.[3]

"A child is any human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier."[4] According to Cornell University, a child is a person, not a subperson, and the parent has absolute interest and possession of the child, but this is very much an American view. The term "child" does not necessarily mean minor but can include adult children as well as adult nondependent children.[5] There are no definitions of other terms used to describe young people such as "adolescents", "teenagers," or "youth" in international law,[6] but the children's rights movement is considered distinct from the youth rights movement.

The field of children's rights spans the fields of law, politics, religion, and morality."
