Children and the Law

In Michigan, a child 4 years of age may ride in the front seat of a vehicle if all other seats are taken by children under the age of 4. A rear-facing car seat can be placed in the front seat if the airbag is turned off.

Well typically the minimum is $156 in the state of Washington. Then you owe back support from the date the baby was born. Then if you have problems paying it they can make sure you don't get a drivers license. They can (and definitely will) Take your tax return. All of it. Then they will find out where you work and garnish your wages. Then if you owe so much even after the child becomes an adult you will still be paying. The more you make the more they take as well.

The same booster seat laws which apply to passenger cars are applicable in a commercial vehicle, as well. Anything else is a matter of what the company's rider policy is, and what the insurance provider will allow.

Yes he does. If he wants to see his child he needs to go to court to set up legal visitation and support of the child. If he refuse's to comply with the court on child support they could pronounce him the father and he would have to pay child support anyway. Most fathers are having DNA tests done in the hopes of getting out from under child support and it works if they are not the biological parent.

yes as long as the child is still in school

Most state laws state age 18. That may vary by state - check with yours.

Well since you are asking a question like this I don't know if having a child is really smart, with all the car jackers it's just not smart to leave precious valuables in the car :)

To my knowledge, if a state agency is not involved because of negelct or abuse, your mother-in-law can get temporary custody if you go to family court and ask that she take temporary custody until you are ready to take them back; it could be because you are having financial difficulty, hospitalization or other issue that you need to deal with As far as your mother-in-law getting custody against your will, I don't think that can happen. If it is happening, you need to contact your local Child Protective Services.

It depends on when your child support was supposed to end. If it has ended then it cannot be modified retroactively. If you are still paying support, some states go to 21, then you can file a motion to modify your child support.

That depends, on a couple of things. First is any money owed to the state, if you received state assistance the state will require to be paid back some of the funds. Second, if there is no court order in effect that states the back support could be nulled then he still owes.

This answer above is correct, but to make it a little more understandable I wanted to add that my husband just legally adopted my daughter from my first marriage. My ex had not contacted her for more than 6 months and had nothing to do with her, so he couldn't contest the adoption. He is no longer liable for current child support, but still owes all the back child support. They will still collect his tax returns or any other moneys he is due like paycheck with holding.

I am a paralegal student and just happen to be discussing child support in family law. I live in Texas and here once the child turns 18 child support stops it also stops when is no longer attending school, has his own family, also meaning if he has a child of his own and joins the military. hope this helps

No, the legal age of majority with the exception of four states is 18. In Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. YES, You can move out with out parents consent, your still a minor BUT you are also counted as an adult...

By Missouri State Law, you must be at a minimum age of 11 years old to legally babysit a child without the supervision of another adult. For more babysitting tips and help, go to below for information on babysitting.

No. A step parent, or any other adult that does not have custody of a child is NOT a legal guardian unless a court has given this right to the step parent. This usually requires one of the biological parents to give up their rights or to been seen as unfit to be able to carry them out.

No. When legal guardianship has been granted the court that issued the guardianship order must also rescind the order. Likewise, in most cases the legal age of majority is not automatically granted when the minor reaches states's age of majority, the guardianhip decree must be cancelled by the court. Be advised that in instances where a guardianship decree is in affect, the guardian does not need permission from the court to have the minor taken into custody by authorities. The law presumes that any such order from the court is valid and enforceable.

Laws are enforced by the Executive Branch, through its various agencies.

Agencies like the FBI, U.S Marshals Service, DEA, and ATF all fall under the Executive Branch of government.

18.

In Georgia, if you dropped out of high school, you can't get your license until th age of 18. Also, if you miss too many days (over 10) they take your license & will not give it back until you are 18. Personal Experience. :\

The mother cannot sign away your rights. You should seek legal advice. The matter of legal custody of your child must be addressed by a court and your rights must be included in any court orders.

There are a great many consequences for aiding a runaway in California. You could go to prison and pay fines.

Police officers are directed to pursue justice, and for some that means a speedy drive to get the bad guy who is suspected of wrong doing, but human error can happen. When it doe's, an innocent person or law enforcement officer can be injured or killed. Police pursuits have long been the center of attention when it comes to the media. Should we chase, should we terminate, should we only chase for serious crimes, etc. It seems no matter which route the Police choose, they end up getting the blame for the outcome.

The 17 year old is still a minor, but has stepped into adulthood once pregnant. If allowed to be married in the state of Arkansas, yes her and her husband can make their own decision. Morally, we know it is wrong. Legally, it can be right. In Arkansas, pregnant or not, you would need parental consent to get married at 17.

Not likely! Judges seldom give the obligated parent a "break" on their financial obligations to children of a previous relationship on the grounds that the parent remarries and/or has children of such a relationship. In such cases, the law presumes the obligated parent's first duty is to the children not to a new spouse/significant other, regardless of the debt(s) that parent incurs from the new relationship.

At 13 you need 8 hours of sleep so it depends on when the child has to wake up. If he has to wake up 6AM he needs to go to bed around 9PM since it takes awhile to go to sleep and he might want to read first. So just count back. It's differs between the households.
