How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?

It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.

Does both parents have to agree if the father wants to sign his rights over?

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Who has the custody of a child if the parents aren't married in Michigan?

By default, the mother does. However, other custody arrangements can be made if the parents agree or if it is in the best interest of the child.An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. 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 must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test.

A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother.

Can a 49-year-old adult child sue their biological parent for child support arrearages?

It's not impossible but it is highly unlikely that the court would address such an issue. The premise being that the adult child waited far too long to pursue litigation. The majority of US states do have statute of limitations pertaining to the recovery of child support arreages. For states that do not have an SOL, arrearage recovery is usually only applicable when money is owed to the state due to the child/children having received public assistance.

Is it possible for a 14-year-old to be emancipated from just one parent if they are divorced?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Is it that you want to be emancipated from one parent so that you can live with the other? If that's the case, then it's not an emancipation issue, it's a custody issue between the parents. And very few judges will consider anyone for emancipation under the age of 16, even if emancipation is allowable in the state.

What does a judge consider in determination of child custody?

See CA Family Law Code 3040 - 3048 http://www.steveshorr.com/MATTERS_CONSIDERED_IN_GRANTING_CUSTODY.htm#custody many things come into play here. even though not required, a judge would be hard pressed not to consider things such as criminal history, job status, and area of residence. there needs to be a simple stable environment for the child to function well and possibly attend school. get whatever you are seeking in writing signed by a judge and argued by a lawyer. best of luck.

What rights does a father have if he is not on the child's birth certificate and nor does he live in the US?

The birth certificate is not something that gives him parental rights, he have to go to court for that and prove it by DNA test. A birth certificate does not require DNA so it does not hold up in court. So yes, if he has gone to court he has rights.

What is the age in California for a child to decide who they want to live with?

17 years old, but if the child has recently had health issues or been issued to a nental hospital, you may have custody over the child until he/she is 18. But, in most cases, even though the child would not be considered an "adult", a kid can move out and live with someone else when they are 17.

If you are wondering what age you have to be to live with a family member--there is no minimum age. Documentation may have to be signed if you are applying for bank account, driver's license, etc., but an immediate family member (like uncle, grandpa, cousin, etc.) is able to house you no matter how old you are.

Can a parent loose custody because of neglect?

If the mother and father are not married but the father's name is on the birth certificate can the father take off with the child?

Issues of child custody are not settled by names on birth certificates. Generally, the court will try to determine what is in the best interest of the child. Who is a better parent, the father or the mother? Who will take better care of the child? That is the issue.

Can A custodial parent deny visitation to the non custodial parent in New York?

Unless there is a court order which prevents the non-custodial parent from having access to the child, then you should not deny the visitation unless you have absolute proof that allowing visitation is a danger to your child. It's best to speak to a lawyer and find out about modifying any current custodial order that may already be in place if necessary.

Can a child's father get custody of child when he gets out of prision?

It's not impossible. In doing so, he would need to file a petition for custody and go to a hearing. The nature of the father's crime would be considered, whether conditions of parole or probation would present a hardship in caring for the child, the living environment the father would provide compared to the child's current living environment, etc.

Ultimately, the judge will rule in favor of the best interests of the child when determining custody. If the father can prevent a compelling case why it would be better for him to have custody rather than allowing the present custody order to prevail, he may be awarded custody.
