Custody

I do believe that any father/mother convicted of a felony in which a life sentence was enacted forfiets their parental rights. You may petition the court to file the necessary paperwork. As with any other issue, the ultimate decision lies with the court however; the fact that the parent will have no day to day influence on the child and will be unable to sustain a parent/child relationship, the court will more than likely relinquish any parental rights.

All biological parents are legally responsible for the financial support of their minor children regardless of the circumstances. The issue of not having custodial rights and being in college is not relevant to the court when a support order is issued.

No, as a minor you are not allowed to choose who to live with. That is up to the parents.

It seems the right most violated of children worldwide is labor. In some parts of the world there is no age limit to put children to work. This denies them many rights such as education, quality of life and health.

Status meaning whether or not a child support order has been issued? You would go in person to the court that would have issued the order, or the child support enforcement agency in the area with jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) and ask. You will be required to present acceptable identification before such information is released.

Also the county of jurisdiction may have online resources available where you can search court documents for a fee, including civil judgements (which would include child support orders). Google is your friend.

i just wont to know how much i owe on child support for a elberton co. case(s).

Spouse? Don't you mean your ex?

She can not deny visitation unless the child would be in danger of some kind. If the visitation order needs to be changed it can only be done in court and she would have to have good reasons why she denied it. Not liking the ex's new girlfrind is not a reason to deny visitation. This will happen to her too and it's called moving on with life.

Ex:) If the dad has visitation rights and a new girlfriend and the custodial parent, the mother, does not approve of the child meeting the new girlfriend, she has no right to dictate to the father who the child sees during visitation. That is entirely up to the father. Unless the girlfriend is unfit to be around the child. That is something the mother would have to prove in court if she wants to prevent them from meeting.

This of course also works the other way. The non-custodial parent can not dictate to the custodial parent who the child meets when with her.

It depends on where you live. Even in the US, it varies by state, but it's generally 1+ year(s). Just to point out that in most cases child support--even if it's only paid because the court has forced it and/or it's only paid sporadically--is considered contact.

He will not pay to you since you no longer have the child, but the both of you would have to pay child support to the one who get the child. If he has the child you have to pay to him. It is both biological parents responsibility and obligation to pay for their child's expenses, even if parental rights are terminated. The only way to get out of it is if the child is adopted.

You cannot voluntarily relinquish parental rights under Pennsylvania law unless the child is being adopted. The courts may involuntarily terminate parental rights under specific (and dire) circumstances.

Many people are operating under the false assumption that signing over their rights absolves them of child support responsibilities when often, it does not....not unless the child is legally adopted by another adult willing and able to assume financial responsibility for the child.

With the exception of cases involving Welfare, child support is not mandatory in any state. However, this is not a good idea for the obligor parent, especially one who wishes to simply pay the other parent directly.

In a California case, the children (age 18 & 22) of a separated man were allowed to sue their father for $134 million dollars in retroactive child support. The parents were never married. However, since 1988 the father voluntarily paid the mother $18,000.00 a month in child support, without a court order, so it was a called gift by the court.

no because what she doing is protecting the child andshe could warn him and tell him, if you hit my child again. I'll make sure you get arrested. that is the honest truth because my mom was in that situation that my dad hit me and she told him if he put a hand on me that she'll call the cops on him. and he haven't touch me since then.

If there is a court order for visitation, and the mother willfully breaks this order, she is subject to the consequences through the court, including being arrested. If she has reason to suspect that there is ongoing abuse during the visits, report it and let them know your concerns, but do not break any court orders because you may be held accountable. If there are no such orders, you can rightfully deny the father visitation.

I don't blame you for being hurt and angry and I know if you had your way you are angry enough to keep the children away from him. However, it's up to a judge to decide that one and as long as he doesn't do drugs or is abusive to the children he probably will get partial custody. Please remember, that children don't completely understand what is going on with their parents, and all they know is it's "mom and dad" and they don't want to be caught in the middle deciding who to be with. They are extremely upset when mom and dad split up. Please do your children a favor and bite your tongue and let them see their father providing he is responsible. Put your own difference aside and think of your children. The anger will subside, you'll meet someone that will treat you better and the hurt doesn't last forever. Good luck Marcy

Yes, in Florida, if a parent fails to pay their child support they are in contempt of court. The judge may give the parent a specific period of time to pay this amount. And If they fail to do so they face a heavy consequences and may be sent to jail. Check out this article "Penalties for Failure to Pay Child Support in Florida

" from Bickman Law Website.

Go to the local courthouse within the jurisdiction of the child's residence and ask the court clerk if anything has been filed under the father's name or mother's name.

of course you still have to pay child support, that child came from YOUR loins. You are responsible for providing for that child, even if you choose not to be in their life. Maybe if you stuck around they wouldn't have dropped out to begin with. Just saying..

It's hard but it is possible in some circumstances. Parents have a legal right to custody (visitation) of their child, but if a parent is not fit to have custody the courts will terminate their parental rights.

Generally the situation must be extreme, as in an actual threat to the well being of the child, for the courts to terminate any parental rights.

It would have to be taken to court for a judge to decide. But if the older sibling is old enough to care for them, *is able to financially support them, and can prove they would be a better guardian than the mother would, the older sibling may stand a good chance of getting them. But he or she would have to prove the mother is unfit, such as abusive, gross negligence, a drug addict or alcoholic, bringing strange men into the home on a regular basis, etc.

*If the older sibling did get custody of the younger ones, he or she may receive financial assistance from the state and the mother and/or father may have to pay child support.

As far as I know legal custody is which is done legally means cleared all the legal process. But still its better to ask any expert and if you want then there is one of my friend you can ask him http://www.werterlaw.com/Practice-Areas/Divorce.shtml

Usually the custody stays as is until the child becomes 18 years of age, or graduates high school, which ever one occurs last. So if the child is 18, yet still has a few months of high school left, then usually the custody remains as originally ordered. But check your papers from the court on that to see if this particular issue was addressed in them.

Just mixing their sperm is not enough to create a child. The only way to create a fetus is to have a female gamete - i.e. egg - fertilised by a male gamete - i.e. sperm. So the two men could mix their sperm, but they would not know which had fertilised the egg, and would not know who the father would be.

Absolutely not. When having a baby the only emancipation you get is regarding making medical decisions regarding yourself and the baby. Regarding everything else you are still a minor until you are 18 and need parental permission. At 14 you are also most likely not allowed to have sex, even though you had a baby, so living with the boyfriend would not be a good idea.

Not if the other parent has joint custody and/or visitation rights.
