Custody

It doesn't matter to whom you are married as long as the father is listed on the birth cerificate. You need to go down to your local family court courthouse and obtain the paperwork to file for a child support hearing. Then you will go through that process, with or without a lawyer, and a child support order will be issued and then the father will be legally responsible to pay you child support.

Yes, the father does get first claim, in order for the child to be adopted by someone else, he needs to give up his legal rights as a father to the child. If you fully give up the child for adoption, to him, then he can not make you pay child support, but if he takes custody only, then yes you may be instructed to pay child support. He does not need to adopt to get custody. But he may stop you from giving up your child, by claiming he supports the child financially, and does not wish to terminate parental rights, but also does not wish look after the child himself.Get a lawyer and discuss this with him.

well how old is the person if the person dating the 22 year old is in high school and not sexualy active with the 22 year old than know You bet your booty your parents can do this if you continue to be persistent about this. This 22 year old woman could be charged with Statutory Rape and the police can even do that if they are called in. You didn't say how old you are, but obviously you are a minor. Love can come when young, so if you're smart you'll lay back on this one until you are 18. * If you mean a residential home such as one supervised by state juvenile authorities that would take an order from the court. If you mean a private facility such as "boot camp", boarding school, rehabilitation center, etc. they can legally take that action.

The parent being refused visitation should contact the attorney who handled the custodial case. If there was not legal counsel they should call the clerk or the court where the visitation order was issued for instructions on how to file a petition of "non-compliance of a court order" against the parent who has primary custody. The parent is in direct violation of a court order and unless he or she can show "just cause" for the action they may be charged with contempt of court. In some states it is possible to enlist the help of local law enforcement if the parent presents the court order of visitation. This however is not the best option as it creates a very stressful situation for the children and is only temporarily helpful in resolving the matter.

I certainly cannot speak authoritatively for all states in the US or in foreign countries. As a general rule, child custody issues are determined by state law in the US. It is likely determined by the state where the divorce was finalized (regardless of where you live now). While certainly not universal, it is common for the law to make NO provision for a child to make a determination about with which parent he or she will live. This is true, regardless of the child's age. So long as a person is a minor (under the age of 18), he or she may not make their own determination about which parent will provide the primary home.

If you're in the US, no, she cannot just list him on the birth certificate without him being involved in the process (he normally has to sign a separate form acknowledging paternity)

Only the father can sign his name to the birth certificate, but he is able to do so regardless of whether they are married unless the mother is married to someone else. In that case the husband of the mother would have to be ruled out as the child's father before the biological father can sign.

Yes. The custodial parent is required to obey the court order or face sanctions that may eventually include loss of custody. The non-custodial parent must stay on top of the situation and file a motion for contempt of a court order. It is extremely difficult to contend with a non-compliant parent and the most difficulty is experienced by the child. Courts do not take that type of behavior lightly.

Child plans are a combination of two things, insurance and investments. These plans insure the life of the parent with most of them having inbuilt waiver of premium benefit which means, that after death of the life assured, the premiums will not be payable anymore but the benefits of the plan will continue as premiums are paid regularly.

Yes, you do. You fathered the child and now you need to pay for what you did. Accept the responsibility.

Any grandparent(s) who are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren or any child of the family and not living in the same residence as the children's parents is entitled to be reimbursed for the care of those children. To be eligible for such support the grandparent must be able to show the court that the caregiving of the children is done from necessity and not just a "family matter". Or the grandparent(s) may file a petition for custody if that has not yet been done, if custody is granted, child support will be ordered as well. Contact the clerk of the circuit court in the county of residence for more information on the laws of the state in which you reside and filing procedures. Or contact the state's department of family and childrens services.

You could check the hospital where you were born to obtain a copy of the Record of Birth Certificate they placed on file. This is the one with your foot prints. It would not be destroyed with the official record kept by the state.

By requesting a Paternity Test either in court or through your local county child support division. Once the test comes back positive, if it does, then you will receive paperwork to send off to make an amendment to the child's birth certificate.

Not if the visitation has been ordered by the court.

Assuming there are grounds for such, the custodial parent would need to file suit (petition) to have the visitation order amended. The non custodial parent, of course, would have the opportunity to contest the action.

Approved by the courts, along with lose of child support.

First off why is child support an issue? Why wouldn't you have at least one or two outfits on hand for these situations. What if your child had an"accident" and needed clean clothes? These are perfect reasons why a lot of children suffer after divorce. Nit picky issues. Parents should think about the child's feelings. It could be a favorite shirt but only worn at mommys house. That's stupid! So what if a pair of socks gets left behind?To squelch the problem, think of this.. would you want to run around naked because your parents squabbled over your clothes?
Get over it and focus on more important issues. It's YOUR kids who suffer and will remember how childish this battle really was. So yes. Provide an outfit or two, but be sure to send the outfits from "other house" home with the child.

Hi.I went to my states DOR website and clicked on contact us.I was emailed back and the person whom emailed me said they would mail me inforamtion as i was wondering the same thing.You have to fill out a form to modify it.Hope this helps You can either file it yourself or call a paralegal and they can file it for you. Don't go to a lawyer, they will charge you too much

Yes because school teachers often do when they accompany pupils on overseas school trips. But they still need parental consent.

Yes you can. You need to ask permission and get a letter signed by the child's legal guardians that allows you to take them out of the country and get it signed by the government.

Yes. The best example I've seen of this involved a 27 year old Michigan man ordered to pay 14 years in retroactive child support in 1997.

The woman he was having a relationship with at age 12 was married, so when she got, she assumed the boy could not be the father due to his age. Fifteen years later, her husband filed for divorce and custody. She countered by stating that he may not be the father of the child. Paternity found that he was not, however by making this claim, she could not receive child support from him, so she filed against the bio dad and was awarded $85,000 based on his average earnings at the time of the filing. The fact that the child had been supported by another man during those years was not a consideration.

This is one of the problems with having an affair with a married woman. This can come back you bite the man up to 23 years later. see link below

Paternity Fraud has always been a significant problem, with with advancements in DNA testing, a growing amount of men are learning that they are not the father of their children, especially as regards child support cases. But, only 11 states allow them to enter DNA evidence to prove this, with Kansas being the most recent to turn down the law in legislative session.

Although the question sounds like a "no brainer" and could be in the literal sense, the matter of not being gainfully employed has no bearing on whether or not an obligated parent must support his or her child. In essence, the law does not recognize the inability of the obligated parent's child support responsibilities regardless of their financial status. The court expects the parent to honor the child support order by any means necessary, including selling personal items or even collecting aluminum cans to sell, might sound inane, but it is a fact.

it is not looking after your child properly so look after your children

If the case is still pending and the children are not postured for adoption, hire an attorney and request a placement hearing before the juvenile Judge. Be prepared for a home study, background check, drug tests, etc, etc, etc..... If you are elderly it is more difficult, just do your push ups and tell the Judge you expect to live to be 150!!!

Yes, relinquishing parental rights does not relieve the parent of the financial responsibility until the child or children reach the age of emancipation or the age that is stipulated in the child support petition.

By proving - to a judge - you are unfit and the child would be better off in their care. Often it is family member who petitions for guardianship (grandparents, aunts, etc) and they have to provide convincing evidence to the court that you unfit. The court would evaluate the situation and render a decision that is in the best interest of the child.
