Child Support

The situation should be reported to the child protective services. The parent may need help and they need to be informed about child endangerment. Leaving small children under the care and supervision of a child is considered child endangerment in most jurisdictions and can result in the parent being declared unfit.

It depends on the settlement. However, a parent will continue to pay child support until the child either graduates from college or stops attending.

It's more like the other way around. If the child's RSDI benefit is based on the obligor's SSA account, it is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.

It depends on your jurisdiction. In the United States the parents are required by law to support their children. If the grandparent has custody the child support payments must be paid over to the grandparent. It's your child and you should support her.

it is for smart people

Yes, you have to pay until she is emancipated. Dropping out of school and being pregnant makes no difference as long as she is a minor.

Most nurses would say something like, "The doctor would be the best person to talk to about that." Usually as long as there is some hope, nobody would say that the child is going to die.

If the mother already knows the child will die, then the nurse can talk to her about pain management. Helping the mother spend quiet time with the child is also very important and the nurse can assist with this.

Regardless of whether child support has been paid, the NCP has the right to visitation as it is designated in the custody agreement, even if the custodial parent has "sole custody". The father should refer to his custody order for the child(ren). Depending on the division of custody, the noncustodial parent's (NCP) can vary, but it most always is spelled out, such as just as an example- Father shall have every other weekend starting at 6pm to Sunday at 6pm and the following holidays: etc. etc..: The NCP (father in this situation) can take the issue to court to petition against the CP (mother here) for withholding visitation.

In this situation, the NCP should continue to pay the child support faithfully and punctually as while this is NOT suppose to factor into visitation, it does look good when standing in front of the judge.

Go to: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html Typically, it is very difficult without an adoption pending. However, the link above is the place to research actual code. Here is a sample below: SECTION 7822.3 3) One parent has left the child in the care and custody of the

other parent for a period of one year without any provision for the

child's support, or without communication from the parent, with the

intent on the part of the parent to abandon the child.

In North Carolina, the support obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. If the child is already otherwise emancipated, payments will stop at the time of emancipation. If the child is still in primary or secondary school when he or she reaches the age of 18, support payments will continue until that child graduates or otherwise ceases to attend classes on a regular basis. If the child fails to make satisfactory academic progress towards graduation or reaches the age of 20 - whichever of these comes first, support may also be ordered discontinued. Based on its discretion, the court may order payments to cease at age 18, regardless of graduation date or any other factors.

Depending on the state, yes. The age of majority in Mississippi is 21.

It's possible, but not as simple as signing a piece of paper and away they go. IIRC, you would have to relinquish your rights as a parent in order for that to happen. So long as you don't consent to that, you can prevent it from happening.

This honestly depends on the individual situation. In my opinion, and I am only 22 years old, the child should not stay over at her boyfriend's residence until she is 18 years of age, and in turn, moved out of her parent's house. It is about instilling responsibility in the child/teenager. You have to structure it around them, and help to guide them into it.

Why would you stop paying child support? If you did this your child(ren) would suffer.

You may not be happy with paying money to your ex wife, your break up may have been painful and you may feel that the terms of the split up were unfair to you. However, whatever you feel now, you did bring a new life into the world and society reasonably expects you to take your share of responsibility in ensuring that this life reaches adulthood as best as you are able. Please do not treat your child(ren) as pawns in any battle with your wife. If you feel that the terms of the separation /divorce are now unfair because circumstances have changed, that is OK but please go back through the court to get them adjusted.

i do believe, if under the court of law, you are required to pay child support, that does not change if your ex moves and you do not, i do believe YOU can still be tried. -axeowar

I am the step mother of my husbands 7 yr old daugter, she has been living with us almost 2 years, what do my husband have to do after getting legitimized and what proof do we have to show that she is in our care?

Generally, a mother is needed to have a child in order to give up rights for. However, that said.

First, it should be understood that until court ordered, single fathers have NO ASSUMED PARENTAL RIGHTS. Financial responsibility and parental rights are not linked until he has applied to the court for permission to see his child(ren). What the father is doing is motioning the court to be released from current and future financial obligations, along with giving up the right to "PETITION" the court for Parental Rights.

This said, since they are the ones who actually carry the child to term and give birth to it, ONLY MOTHERS have the universal right to voluntarily give their parental rights AND financial responsibilities for her child(ren). The Safe Haven Laws were enacted to help prevent prom night dumpster babies. Rather than throw the child in the trash or drown it in the toilet, she can give up her child, giving up all rights and responsibilities for said child (NO QUESTIONS ASKED) at any Hospital ER.

Women and girls who give up their babies under the Safe Haven Laws almost invariably do so because neither her family nor the baby's father want the child and will not help her care for it. While the father can run off, never to be seen again, the woman cannot do the same since the child is growing inside her body. That is why Safe Haven Laws exist for women, but similar laws do not exist for men. It is practically unheard of for a mother to give up her child under Safe Haven when the father is present and willing to care for the child.

So, the male must seek the permission of the Court, AND the Mother, to give up his own financial responsibility.

If the issue involves dealing with a "Gatekeeper Mother", there are means and methods to deal with this. The father need only learn what they are. See links.

Child support is paid until a child becomes emancipated. In the State of Mississippi, the age of emancipation is twenty-one (21). Also, emancipation may refer to the emancipation that occurs before the child reaches the age of majority. NOTE: The noncustodial parent, not MDHS, shall petition the court for the relief sought.

He is still the father of the child, no matter who he is married to; so he has to pay up.

If you marry him, you will also be liable. When you marry, you marry everything, including his bills! Check the credit card balance also! You would be surprised how many people marry some big debt there!

Depends on who files first. Properly, the state where the custodial parent moves with the children does not have long arm jurisdiction over the other parent, if that parent does not live in the same state, as long as that parent does not accept service for jurisdiction. The obligor parent can request their state take jurisdiction. The original home state no longer has jurisdiction after 6 months of the move, or the last appearance in court addressing these issues, whichever is later. Custody and access rights go to the state of residence of the children.

Probably not but it could be a factor depending on the circumstances of the adultery.

Adultery is grounds for divorce in those states that involve "fault divorces" and can even play a role in spousal support, but child custody is totally different.

When determining child custody, the most important thing to the court is looking to what arrangement is in the best interest of the child. Courts will seek to establish a situation in which the child can see both parents and provide stability to the child. If the cheating spouse is living in a morally questionable situation, then that would be a factor but otherwise, it will not be a single grounds for obtaining child custody.

No. IT is due until it is paid in full or you pass away and then a lien can be filed against your estate for the past due child support.

An individual may learn about child support payments through the states social services departments. For example, The Oregon Department of Social Services provides all the guidelines and legal regulations on child support payments.
