If a father is under 18 does he still have to pay child support?
No, but as soon as he reaches what the state of residency considers legal age he will. Depending on state laws he may also be obligated to pay any back child support award.
How old does a child have to be to address the court to get rid of visitation in the state of Ohio?
When the child reaches the age of majority in Ohio (18).
However, the child DOES have the right to write a letter to the judge with jurisdiction in the case outlining the reasons why they do not want to visit their parent (and those reasons better be good and truthful) or engage an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court on their behalf to do the same. The judge may take the child's wishes into consideration, but ultimately, he or she will rule in favor if the best interests of the child, which almost always includes the child maintaining contact with both parents.
How many dads are in the world?
There are over 7 billion people in the world. At a certain age, the population loses most of their fathers. If most dads have more than 1 kid, then I would guess there are hundreds of millions of father's in the world. Not the following, which was on another answer site...

Source(s):a website and my brain!"Does a father in Washington sighn over his rights still have to pay child support?
Not unless there is someone who wishes to adopt and assume financial responsibility. Fathers pay child support largely to prevent the entire financial burden for raising their child from being transferred to other taxpayers.
By definition, "stealing" can have multiple meanings depending on the context, but for legal purposes, it means removing or divesting a person of their personal property without permission with or without the intention of returning it. Intent doesn't matter as much as the act of not receiving permission.
Can a father put himself on childsupport without paternity?
Paternity must be established before an order for support is entered. This is done by: genetic testing; presumption, where the parties were married when the child was born/conceived; acknowledgment of paternity either in writing or in open court; default, where the alleged father fails to cooperate in the process.

No.
Another View: There is no law prohibiting this - but it might not be prudent considering she is in a custody battle and the ex-spouse could raise the argument of the child living in adverse moral surroundings.
What does it take to sign over your parental rights in Oregon?
You can't just voluntarily sign over your rights unless the child is being put up for adoption. Parental rights can can be involuntarily terminated by the court under certain circumstances.

Not unless they have been appointed by the court as your legal guardians.
As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.
How old does a child need to be to decide where is want to live in oklhoma?
When the judge feels a minor is old enough to understand the circumstances pertaining to custodial issues he or she will speak with the minor child about different matters. Some of the questions that might be asked would be: How is the child feels about their current school, neighborhood, friendships, extra-curricular activities, a job (if applicable) and so forth. A 17-year-old would be asked such questions and perhaps more personal ones concerning specific family issues such as the parent-child relationship.
However, regardless of the age a minor does not choose which parent they wish to live with, although at the age cited the judge may take it into consideration. The final decision is always made by the judge based on what is in the best interest of the minor child and not on any of the preference of any of the involved parties.
AnswerUntil you're 18 you have to live with the parent that the court has awarded custody to. But, the non-custodial parent can petition the court to have custody changed. If you're a teenager (and I'm assuming you are), you would be given the chance to tell the court who you would prefer to live with. The court makes the final decision, but they will take your wishes into consideration when making that decision.But, in addition to that, a minor can go before their guardian's attorney and make a written request at the age of 12. That request will be set before a judge and that is when the consideration will be made.
Can we as grandparents see our grandchildren if our own daughter and son-in-law refuses?
Not enough information is disclosed as to what state is being referred to.
The law on this subject is mixed.
Some states DO have precedent cases which allow the grandparents of divorced individuals to have visitation with their grandchildren. However the law is much less clear on the matter of grandparents who are simply estranged from their still married children, and who deny them access to their grandchildren.
Suggest you contact an attorney skilled in family practice in your state for counsel on this matter.
If your name is on the birth certificate are you the legal father?
No he is then the father of the child but in order to get rights he has to go to court and prove paternity first in order to get visitation, custody and pay child support. If married to the mother when the child is born, he is automatically considered the father and have rights.
If the father has established paternity but is not on the birth certificate does he have rights?
If the father is on the birth certificate that is evidence of paternity in many locations and confers all intrinsic paternal rights and obligations accorded with state law, unless a modification by court order has been entered.
You would need to supply your location and the legal residential location of the child (state or country if outside of the USA) for an accurate answer.
Does a parent have to pay child support without having visitation rights?
Yes, child support and visitation are two different legal issues and they are addressed separately. However, if there has been no court order issued in the past and the parents are unmarried the father must establish his paternity in order to petition for a visitation order. Once his paternity has been legally established the mother can petition for a child support order.
Unclean hands, sometimes clean hands doctrine or dirty hands doctrine is an equitable defense in which the defendant argues that the plaintiff is not entitled to obtain an equitable remedy on account of the fact that the plaintiff is acting unethically or has acted in bad faith with respect to the subject of the complaint-that is, with "unclean hands".
In Indiana if your child is having a baby do you have to still pay child support?
Child custody and child support laws do vary from state to state, so please confirm the details of the law in your state by contacting a local court or attorney. One thing that is fairly consistent from state to state: a parent's financial responsibility for a child is separate from the right to visitation or custody and separate from the issue of the child's name. A non-custodial parent is not excused from the responsibility to support the child. A child's name is assigned at birth on the birth certificate. If the father is not present the mother can give the last name of the father on her own (or another) last name. The name has no bearing on either child support or custody. Simplest way to detemine obligation is, if there is a valid court order of support the non custodial parent is obligated to adhere to the terms of the support regardless of the circumstances involved. The non custodial parent has the option of filing a petition to have the order rescinded or amended, and requesting a paternity test if the parentage of the child is in question.
Can you get child support in the state of New York if the non custodial parent sign over his rights?
Yes, voluntarily relinquishing your parental rights does not excuse you from having to pay child support.
Who gets custody if the unmarried single mother dies and father is not named on birth certificate?
Relatives willing to step up or foster care.
Parents should plan for this possibility, hard as it is, by appointing a guardian (ask them first!) in their will and making financial arrangements.

A paraplegic parent will be able to get custody of a child. Before it will be awarded, there must be proof that someone else will be there to help with the child.
What is the age a child can make their own decisions in Pennsylvania?
I think that in any state you must be 18 years of age to adopt a child. However, your state may have laws about the requirements you need to adopt a child.
How can you win child support case?
I don't think you can really "win" a divorce. You can get better or worse terms, which depends partially on how good your lawyer is and how good your soon-to-be-ex-spouse's lawyer is.
It really depends on how the parental rights are divided and should be specified in your divorce/support paperwork.
