Custody

Yes as the Visa requires both signatures.

No.

Only the biological parents are responsible for the support of their minor children.

I have a different answer: If the parent is being supported by his/her spouse then yes, the new spouse has to pay for child support. Some parents tried to get out of paying child support by not working and letting their new spouse support them but that is illegal. The house hold income is counted.

The same rights they had when they were younger. Your child is not 18 yet.

No, Josh Elliott can barely spend more than a couple of hrs with his daughter. Long enough for a picture and an interview to make himself look good. Anyone who really knows him would say he uses his daughter like a prop.

Yes. To do otherwise would put them in contempt of court and they could be fined heavily and/or arrested and put in jail.

But If you feel as if you don't owe the amount of back child support then you need to do a modification you can get all the info you need to do that from this site http://flchildsupportmodification.com/

That depends on several variables, but even if she does, he has up to six months to file an injunction ordering the child be returned to the jurisdiction of the court for a full review on custody and access rights.

No.

Yes!!! (in my state), if the non custodial parent has failed to provide any form of support for longer than 30 days a criminal abandonment warrant can be applied for. It is much cheaper, faster and effective than going through a civil action of contempt, and certainly more effective than my several attempts Child Support Enforcement.

To get an abandonment warrant:

You go to the magistrates office, take with you ten dollars in cash and a photo I.D. and the ncp's address. Fill out an arrest warrant request. A hearing is scheduled in a few days. You both get a letter to appear at the hearing about 2 weeks later. At the hearing the accused must appear and refute evidence presented by the custodial parent for abandonment. The judge rules on the warrant request based on the evidence presented at the hearing.

In my case the ncp lives in another state and did not show for the hearing. He is over $100K in the rears. And, I already had a contempt charge from the civil court. At the abandonment hearing three felony warrants were issued, and $100K bond was set.

I spoke the sheriff's department by phone from the other state. I then went to the fugitive department of my sheriff's office and spoke to an officer there. He then took the warrants to the D.A. to get permission to extradite from the other state. The D.A. agreed he was arrested in the other state within about 24 hours. And is currently waiting to extradition.

I hope this. Take care of your kids!

If you're in the US, the child can decide at 18. Until then if the non-custodial parent has a visitation order that must be followed. If there is a legitimate reason why the child does not want to visit, then the custodial parent needs to go to court and request that the visitation order be changed.

In Florida, emancipation occurs automatically when you reach 18 years old or you are

married. Or whatever your child support order says.

Six months after you stop attending college or you graduated you are required to start making payment. If you are unemployed, call your loan provider or send letter explaining your situation and ask for deferment. Don't just keep quite, and avoid letting your loan enter a default - that will forever ruin your credit and possibly make it hard for you in any other fields.

Is that a serious question? Here's a thought... use a condom. First of all, shame on you for wanting nothing to do with your child... your an awful human being. Second, go sign away your parental rights, but keep in mind that you can still be ordered to pay child support. Right now, you should go hug your mother and thank her for not tossing you aside like you've done to your child.

Yes, it is not unheard of. When deciding to grant custody, the judge will take into consideration the nature of the crime, how much time has passed since conviction and the parent's behavior since that time, whether conditions of probation and/or parole have been met and if not, whether such conditions would present a hardship when caring for the child or otherwise meeting their needs.

Just because a parent has a felony conviction in their past does not automatically preclude them from being granted custody of their child or children. However, the judge will rule in favor of that person who will be able to provide a stable and loving home - in other words, act in the best interests of the child.

Only Texas has that law, but with significant restrictions. In all other states, it's a case by case basis, with the Judge interpreting the maturity of the child, and their intent, but this still does not override other evidence in the child's best interest. It's just a piece of the evidence.

It depends on where you are. In the majority of states in the US (maybe even in all of them), child support continues past 18 if the child is still in high school. In some states, child support can be ordered to continue during college.

As the list comprises more or less all nobel and royal houses of Europe, and quite possibly further abroad, the question is fairly impossible to answer.

However, as of 2011, it was reported that the person at the end of the list(which runs in the thousands of names) was a Karin Vogel, of Rostock, Germany. How correct this is TODAY is anyones guess.

Usually by age 12 they can effectively understand the situation and give their own opinion on whether or not to see their absent parent.

Nah. I didn't have to, and my lawer said I didn't have to!(I am serious.)=This may depend on the state and county you live in. In parts of PA, if the grandparents are given custody of a child or have custody of a child, they CAN petition for child support, and yes the parents would have to pay for the care of that child.=

The person who wants to be appointed the guardian needs to petition the court. If there is already a guardian they should join in the petition, requesting a termination of their own appointment. If the child is under the custody of parents they should consent.

A father should provide whatever the children will need while in his care, unless otherwise directed by a court of law. The mother is not responsible for the necessities of the children while they are on weekend visitations.

Florida's legal age of majority (the age at which a person is considered an adult) is 18. That being the case parents no longer have custodial/legal rights over their child, nor are they legall or financially responsible for the child unless there is a court order that states otherwise. The parents do, however, have the legal right to request the adult child to move from the family residence and to obtain assistance from the court if the adult child refuses to comply. In cases where a child is physically and/or mentally challenged the parents should seek the assistance of the state's department of family services.

As soon as the motion is signed by the judge, as little as an hour

That's quite difficult. Being a child under custody myself, it kind of depends on what the child wants, from my experience. I've always been asked questions about what I want to do. Most likely you'll have to take your opposition to a family court and argue, or persuade them, as to why you would be the better person to take care of them. It always helps if the child(ren) are on your side. :)
