Does the mother have to pay child support if she does not make enough money?
In UK child support law, the PWC's income makes no difference for applications made under the new rules. The old rules did make a consideration but the NRP's income would have to be significantly lower than the PWC to make a difference to the regular payments.
Most states will not extradite on a misdemeanor warrant due to the expense they would incur for a relatively minor charge. Some states WILL if the distance is not that great, i.e. within 100 miles etc.

Do you have to pay back child support if you just found out the child is yours after 16 years?
It's very likely. And the courts can order retroactive support (but would be unlikely to do so in a case such as this).
But, you should still prepare for the possibility. The state benefit financially from such orders in receiving 15% in federal matching funds. The amount can be from 2 years to 15 years worth, depending on the state, and based on your current income.

Can a person in minnesota jail be extradited to Wisconsin for child support?
Probably not. Extradition is the process used when a person is in custody in one jurisdiction, but has an active warrant in another jurisdiction. In most cases, child support is a civil matter, and therefore does not bring up the issue of warrants as in a criminal matter.
If, however, there is some reason that a warrant has been issued with regard to the child support issue, then yes, the person can be extradited. The Wisconsin authorities would be notified of the person's location, and would then determine whether or not the warrant merited the expense of going to pick up the defendant and transporting him/her back to Wisconsin.

Can child support be garnished if you work for a California Indian casino?
Yes. Even though Native American lands are considered soverign that right does not apply to the earnings and/or legal responsibilities of persons who are employed or do business with casinos or other venues on tribal lands.
It depends upon the wording in the support order. Generally an order states until the child reaches the state age of majority and finishes high school. It is doubtful that the court would suspend support if the minor is making a good faith attempt at getting his/her GED, however, the time limit would have to be sen as reasonable. These basics do not apply if the child is considered disabled in some capacity. The safest option is to continue support payments, and if so inlclined, petition the court for a hearing to possibly modify the order.
Will the IRS take your tax refunds for child support payments?
Nope
Yes, they can. Child support is one of those things that is getting very special treatment everywhere in an attempt to make sure irreponsible parents don't just dump their kids on society any longer.
Your tax refund is seizable and offsettable against your failure to pay child support...(which is also a criminal act in many areas). They systems established to do so are fairly effective. Most other payments and earning are seixable and garnishable with even shortened process to do so now too.
They are your kids and your responsibility, like it or not. Certainly not mine...and everyone else that would have to pay for them. I'm glad the IRS and Couirts are finding ways to make sure you can't just skip out on your kids.
(BTW, bankruptcy doesn't work...child support can't be discharged...).

Does non-custodial parent have to help pay for childcare?
The individual would be required (in the eyes of the law) to pay college expenses, if the child demands to the courts (especially in the case of dependents) the maximum age is 24 years-old. However, child support would continue until the child graduates college, or stops attending. Still, on the moral side, both parents should have the best interest of the child in mind, and do everything possible to ensure a college education if the child so chooses. There are many ways to acquire funds, even from the corporate sector. Check with the financial aid office at a college near you and inquire about what options are available.
How do you put the child in the bottle?
It's best to replace it with a sippy cup and sparkly character straws in my opinion.
It's also best to not yank a bottle away but get the child to want to drink from the big boy or girl cup. If the child feels like it was their choice, then it's much better.
What rights does an adult child have living in the home of deceased parents with no will?
Anyone living in such a home has only the rights granted by the heirs who acquire the home under the local statutes of intestacy. If they want you evicted immediately, they can obtain a court order to do that. If they want to charge you rent, or long-term lease, they can do that. If they want to give you the right to stay there for "free" for the rest of your life, they can do that.
Your only "rights" would be those provided in state law for any other "tenant at will", such as 30-day notice to get out.
Another Perspective/ClarificationIf the last parent died intestate their property will pass to their heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy. If there is more than one child, all will inherit an equal share of the property as tenants in common. In either case the estate must be probated in order for title to lass legally to the heirs. Any estate that contains real estate must be probated in order to establish title and the estate should be probated immediately.All the heirs at law have an undivided share in the property so each has the right to the use and possession of the whole property. However, once an administer for the estate is appointed they will have authority over the assets and responsibility to settle the estate. Arrangements could be made for the child who resided with the parent to continue living there, however, the family must come to an agreement and the child will need to pay their own expenses.
You need to probate the estate and consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.
What can you do to stop child labor?
