Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.
What rights does a single father have for visitations if there is no court order?
It depends on your status: married/unmarried, divorced/separated, etc. Depending on your circumstances and the facts in your particular case you may need to establish your rights by a court action. A married father has equal parental rights. An unmarried father must establish his paternity legally and arrange for a hearing if he wants custody and/or visitations. Custody and visitation are addressed in a divorce by court orders.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity legally. 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, the father can request visitations and/or custody. The court will address child support according to state guidelines.
Who was the father of lina medina's child?
Lina Medina, who became the youngest confirmed mother in history at the age of five, had her child in 1939. The identity of the father remains unclear, but it was widely speculated that it was her own father, who was later arrested and suspected of incest. However, he was never formally charged, and the case remains shrouded in mystery. Lina herself has never publicly disclosed the identity of the child's father.

What is the state of the relationship between Paul's mother and father?
Paul's mother's love had "turned to dust."
If you're in the US, it will likely depend on the reason(s) for the move. An hour away is not that far, so if you have legitimate reasons, there is a good chance they'll allow it, although they may require that you provide all the transportation for visitation (on the basis that you were the one who created the distance).
DNA proof , but if there is verbal contract that he will not be a part of the child's life then that contract is honored.
How do you get child support from son's father if he won't sign birth certificate?

If the mother receives welfare then why does the father of the child have to pay child support?
The answer is simple. The father must pay child support to reimburse the social agency that is supporting his child. It is not the responsibility of tax payer supported agencies to support the children of irresponsible parents. If you bring a child into the world you must support that child until adulthood.

Do you have to pay child support in TN if you sign away parental rights?
Of course you do ... signing away your "rights" only means that you do not wish to have any visitation or custodial responsibilities. You still are financially responsibly for that child and his/her upbringing. After all, they are your children, too ... takes two to make kids, ya know!
Negative Reinforcement
You and your wife are separated now she won't let you see the kids. What should you do?
You have a right to see the kids.
The proper way out of this is to defuse the rage and frustration she feels, by a long slow process of talking and talking. It will mean that you have to deal with your own rage and frustration too, so find a friend or therapist to help you do this.
Find an empathetic caring person to do mediation between yourself and your ex. Someone she trusts, even settle for someone she has chosen.
Don't be tempted to sue her for access until mediation has failed. But use your very clear legally supported right to access as a reason for the mediation to succeed. If she understands before the mediation starts that no judge will ever deny the father access to his children then she will know she is on shaky ground.
And pay maintenance (child support). It will demonstrate that you care.
AnswerThis is a legal issue. Your wife has no right to prevent your being with your children. She is being unreasonable and is not thinking if the children. She is starting off on the wrong page and you need to nip it in the bud in order to maintain your relationship with your children. By taking it upon herself to deny your parental rights she could eventually lose custody when/if your case reaches the courtroom. The longer you wait to address the situation the more damage it can do to your relationship with your children. She is likely engaging in other maladaptive behaviors regarding the children and it is important for them to spend quality time with you to counter act any negative comments she makes to the children about their father.
You should visit the family court and file a petition for temporary visitation order. If your marriage is headed for divorce you should consult with an attorney. He/she could expedite the temporary orders.
Why would a custodial parent drop child support?
Most often this occurs because they've been pressured by the non-custodial parent. A common tactic is for the non-custodial parent to threaten to take away custody if he or she has to pay child support. The custodial parent will then consent to not get child support to avoid a costly custody battle.
This is why most states have made child support mandatory. A custodial parent can't decline or give up child support voluntarily in those states.
Grandparents do not have any legal rights to custody of the grandchildren but if you suspect the environment is bad for the child you should contact the CPS and then you can say you want to foster the child if the mother refuses to kick him out or move.
What is equal custodial rights?
The requirement that all decisions as regards the child must be done jointly by the parents. see link
Can a person get into trouble if they lie to the child support office?
Yes, and depending upon the type of false information given "trouble" might be an understatement. Another Answer: What if the mother is the one who lied to get more child support but refuses to let you see the kids and court officials don't do their job and allow her to keep up her crap???
What are the signs that your mother is a moucher?
If she never buys and never turns down a hit could be a very good sign that she's a moucher. You might ask her to roll one from her stash occasionally and if she answers that she has no stash, that too may be an indication she's a moucher. If she treats your stash as though it's hers she is definitely a moucher.
They don't. The child has an opinion which the court weighs.
What if written court order differs from court agreement?
The order controls. If it's incorrect, the parties will have to return to court to fix it.
The court decides if he is allowed to terminate his parental rights. The custodial parent can then give custody to a grandparent if they wish. Both of you would then have3 to pay child support to the grandparent. Terminating parental rights does not get you out of paying for the child.
I am sorry to say the outcome is not good. Once you settle into a job and have proven you are trying then your chances rise considerably. You can have visitation rights of course.
Time to settle down and take on that responsiblility. Doesn't sound like you are all that serious about the custody of your child. Even if you take a job and show you have stability, live in a decent neighborhood and can support a child and are credible your chances are good. So far, you haven't shown any signs of this so don't waste your time trying to get custody.
Like all such issues the outcome would be at the descretion of the presiding judge. In all likelihood the judge would table the custody petition and give the father a specified amount of time to "get his act together." To find and keep gainful employment, establish a permanent residence and establish, become a stable contributing member of society. After which the father could resubmit the custody petition along with proof of his changed lifestyle.
