Custody

Well,she can do that, but it depends on the standards, like if the you knew the father, or if the child will ever see his/her father. something like that. I watch a lot of court shows and I also read a book about it.

Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.

The amount is determined by statutory child support guidelines in most jurisdictions or the department of social service in the state the child lives if the child is receiving financial support from the state.

I don't know, but I am aware of several cases where the custodial parent collected back child support years after the child reached adult age, even to the point of garnishing social security payments.

Detained, in reference to rehab, or a mental type institution means that they are there under observation and may receive some minor treatments. If the juvenile does not respond well to treatment, then the option to commit opens.

If they confirm a reason to commit, then they are committed.

Once committed, they are wards until they are deemed safe to themselves and others.

If you are referring to being detained at a correctional facility, it is a bit different.

Being detained in a correctional facility (jail or juvenile hall) means that the juvenile will be held until bail is submitted or if there is no bail, until court. If bail is set and the juvenile gets out on bail, that juvenile is still considered detained until court.

Act grown up: think before you act and take responsibility for your actions. If necessary, teach (your parents) by example. Treat your parents like you would want them to treat you. Point out (gently) that you're doing all this if your parents don't get the point by themselves. I was going to say "Have a child yourself", but I'm afraid that would be taken seriously. Also, it doesn't really work anyway.

I would say , Yes. The reason is , sometimes if a child graduates, the mother may not inform the paying parent that the child did not continue with higher education.So the money continues until the paying parent finds out the child is out of school for good. Usually child support stops at age 18 unless the child has continued his/her education or has special medical needs, etc etc.Tell me if this is incorrect.

You file a petition in the court with jurisdiction (usually a family/civil court) in the county and state where the child is a resident. Please be advised, when a person wishes to legally adopt their new spouse's child the biological father or mother must be deceased or voluntarily relinquish his or her or have had parental rights permanently terminated by court order.

No. Once the child is born to an unmarried couple, paternity needs to be established before a child support petition can be filed. It can be the voluntary acceptance of the male involved or in disputed cases a paternity test (usually DNA rather than a blood test) must be done.

Well actually, it depends. A non-custodial parent can still have liberal, defined visitation and if that parent, say has 3 days a week or every weekend, and their income is vastly lower than the income of the custodial parent then there would be an avenue in many states where that 'non-custodial' parent would be entitled to child support. Again, it would vary on a number of factors including what you mean by non-custodial. If non-custodial includes no physical or legal custody and/or no visitation at all, the avenue seems virtually impossible. However, simply being non-custodial would not be the single defining point. In fact, there wouldn't be a single variable that would determine the answer to this question (particularly as state law were weighed in). Best advice, contact an attorney, many will provide free first consultations.

yes, even in cases where he was underage with an adult woman of any age.

Maybe, it depends upon the laws of the state in which the biological minor father resides and other issues, such as whether or not paternity has been established to the satisfaction of the court. In the majority of US states, a DNA paternity test by an approved court facility is now required before the court will address support and/or custodial issues.

he has all the rights if you put his name on the birth certificate but if not then he doesn't have any rights unless he takes you to court has a paternity and then the courts make you put his name on the birth certificate and then you need to ask for child support

Child support is issued by court order. Unless the court order specifically gives this as a reason not to pay support - and I can guarantee it never will - you're still on the hook for it whether or not you get to see the kid.

You can get the court to include specific provisions requiring visitation but the failure of the child to want to see you or the ex stopping you won't get you out of it. Now, if you have visitation and the ex won't let you see the child, you go with a witness - or a police officer - and then go back to court with the witness testifying that the ex refused visitation, whereupon the court will order the ex to comply.

But you can't really do much if the kid doesn't want to go with you or see you short of dragging him places.

A minor is not allowed to decide that but they can tell their opinion and hope the judge agrees.

None. * Parents in every state including New York, have the legal option of filing for a court order to have the minor child taken into custody by authorities and returned to the family home, or placed in a juvenile facility and/or be relieved of their financial and legal obligations towards the minor child. If the parents are released from parental obligations, the court will make the minor a ward of the state and place them in a foster, group home or juvenile facility until said minor reaches the age of majority. In rare cases the judge will grant emancipation rights if the action is proven to be in the best interest of the minor.

I suggest you get a local attorney where the jurisdiction of the divorce is that has a lot of experience practicing Family Law to see what the local court does in situations like yours. He/she should be able to answer all your question.

My experience in OK is that it doesn't matter what the law says, the lower court judges don't follow it anyway. So you need to know what the local judge does.

Not legally. It may be difficult to comprehend, however, the legal age of majority for the state of Mississippi is 21. There is the option of petitioning the court for the removal of disability of age if the underaged person meets the requirements specified by law. I would say NO, but some do. The responsibility would still fall on the parents until 18 for any actions of a 17 year. Moving out does not solve problems and does not give freedom of choice. Different responsibilities will be compounded that were never thought of. Were would you get your next meal, TV, internet, money, transportation, etc.. You wouldn't be able to enter into rental agreements, car loans or something so simple as renting a movie until your eighteen. Living with someone else brings about different problems not thought of, such as privacy. Most teens don't understand that freedom of choice comes with responsibility. Responsibilities give adults the power of choice. If not responsible you will never have this power. Stay home and enjoy your freedom you have now because the grass is not always greener on the other side.

The state that borders Wisconsin to the south is the state of Illinois. The state to the east of Wisconsin is Minnesota.

i live in cailf.my child is 18 and she just had ababy do i still have to pay child support do i pay child support for my child who has a baby

YES,THEY SHOULD. A CUSTODIAL MOTHER GET'S CHILD SUPPORT WHY WOULDNT THE FATHER. IT WORK'S BOTH WAY'S.

In Texas, at the age of 12, the judge will allow a child to voice his/her preference of who they want to live with. However, that does not mean that the judge will automatically agree to that (and I'm assuming this is a case where one of the parents is not in agreement with what the child wants). The judge takes the child's wishes into consideration, along with many other things, and then makes the final decision based on the best interest of the child.

In Texas it is with 12 years of age and can be found in the Texas Family code as follows:

§ 153.008. CHILD'S PREFERENCE OF PERSON TO DESIGNATE

RESIDENCE. A child 12 years of age or older may file with the court

in writing the name of the person who is the child's preference to

have the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the

child, subject to the approval of the court.
