In all 50 US states the law presumes that an unmarried birth mother retains sole custodial rights to a child until the court rules otherwise. This applies to minors as well as to adults.
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 can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Can child support put a lien on property if you owe?
A Springfield, MO Court placed a lien on the estate that a deceased father would have inherited from his parents, cutting any possibility of his older children, from his deceased first wife, from receiving anything.
Answer
Yes. Child Support Liens are an important tool in collecting arrearages.
Although practices and resources for collecting child support arrearages may vary from state to state, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act has been adopted by every state in the U.S. The Act establishes rules that require every state to defer to child support orders entered by courts in the child's home state.
Every state has a means by which a lien can be attached to any property owned by an obligor. On a basic level, those liens capture wages, tax refunds, real property and motor vehicles. The property cannot be sold or refinanced unless the lien is paid off. However, many states have become quite persistent and creative in finding other assets that should be used to support children of delinquent parents. Following are some examples.
Some states compare a list of obligors to lottery winners and hold back funds to pay arrearages. Some states restrict any type of license renewal until arrearages are paid. Some states search 1099s for IRA accounts. NJ has attached the award in a pending class action suit against US Steel. A Kentucky court ruled that a father's obligation was not terminated by his death. Maryland has a standard procedure for attaching an obligor's inheritance. The state of Florida discovered an obligor was the beneficiary of a NY trust and was able to enforce a judgment against the trust for arrearages and garnishment for future monthly payments.
Can the father give up his or her parental right and avoid paying child support?
Whether or not parental rights can be voluntarily relinquished for any reason depends upon the laws of the state in which the child was born or currently resides. A biological parent can file a petition with the court to have parental rights terminated. The parent must meet all the TPR requirements established by the laws of the state, even so, the presiding judge can dismiss the case with or w/o prejudice, or refuse to grant the decree, for several reasons. The granting of a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights generally pertains to the process of allowing the adoption of a minor child by another qualified adult,such as the other parent's new spouse.
If you marry a man who pays child support will they include your income?
Assuming that you are a new spouse, then the answer is no, your income is not subject to attachment. Only the biological parents are responsible for financial support of their minor children. Be advised, that is your earnings are held in a joint bank account and said account is subject to levy, your monies could be levied also to fulfill the support obligation. In such cases the court usually "freezes" an account until the non obligated spouse submits proof of the amount belonging to him or her. In situations where both biological parents are employed or have a means of income both of those incomes are considered when determining the amount the obligated parent pays.
Can your wages be garnished for child support and past debt?
what is the maximum wage garnishment allowed in the New Jersey?
*With child support they can take 50% of your net income. This does not include amounts withheld for health insurance, etc, just taxes, medicare, social security. You can easily end up with far less than half of your income to take home.
A judgment creditor can enforce a wage garnishment even if the garnishee's wages are currently attached for child support obligations.
How do you place a child support lien on real property?
And here is more from other Wiki s contributors:
I know how it works in Texas. The Child Support Lien is not actually against the property, it's against the debtor. A title company checks for Abstract of Judgements, Federal Tax Liens, Child Support Liens, etc. when a person does a real estate transaction. If any are found the title company will require the lien(s) to be paid off on or before closing the transaction. To my knowledge, the only ones that can take your property(IF IT IS YOUR HOMESTEAD) are: IRS, DEA, TAXING AUTHORITIES, and the note holder. "Investment Property" is treated differently.
How long do you have to pay child support in Massachusetts?
If there is an unmarried child that's reached 18, is a full-time high school student and lives with one of the parents, the parents will maintain their respective support if the child needs it, until the child completes the twelfth grade or reaches 19 years of age, whichever comes first. If the child becomes emancipated, the obligation to pay support ends. see link below for list on all states
Do you need the mother's consent to sign over parental rights?
It's possible (though not likely) that the court will allow you to terminate your parental rights without Mom's consent. However, in that event, you would still be required to pay child support. The requirements to voluntary relinquish parental rights is determined by state laws. A biological parent can usually file a petition in the proper court venue w/o the other parent agreeing, however that person will be notified of by the court of the pending action. The petitioner must meet state TPR requirements before a judge will review and rule on the request. In some states partial rights might be terminated while others such as support remain valid. Such cases are generally adjudicated on an individual basis.
