I know for a fact in the United States NO! 14 isn't even an adult!

Once paternity is established child support can be ordered, even if the parent is a minor. However, support is based on ability to pay (no comment on the causes and consequences of becoming a parent at age 14).

Another View: When it comes to the law, NEVER say "never!" It is conceivable that the 14-year old's parentscould be ordered to become financially responsible for the payment of support for their child's child.

Does the mother of an underage boy have to pay child support to the underage mother of her son's child?

Yes, if that is ordered by the courts. In an Ohio case where a 14 year old boy got a 19 year old girl pregnant, his parents were ordered to pay support to the girlfriend.


If a 17 year old girl gets pregnant does the non custodial parent get to stop child support?

No. Child support that was ordered must still be paid until the 17 year old turns 18.


What if your 16 year old is a father do you still pay support?

Yes, and you could also be ordered to pay child support on the grandchild if he is unable to pay it.


Does child support stop if 16 yr old get expelled from school?

No. The support YOU have been ordered to pay is dependent upon YOU and YOUR situation. It is court ordered of YOU, not your child.

Only if it is ordered by the court. You can not decide on your own!


How much would a 17-year-old man pay for child support?

Child support amounts are determined by the laws of the state in which the minor child resides at the time the lawsuit for support is filed. Generally the age of the non custodial parent has no bearing on the amount ordered by the court for support of his or her child.


Do we both have to pay for my 16 year old sons child support for his baby?

If this is the order of the court, yes. In an Ohio case involving a 14 year old boy who impregnated an 18-year-old girl, the parents of the boy were ordered to pay her $50 a month in child support, so the order is not necessarily based on their level of income. see links below on dealing in child support issues


You and your girlfriend are not married Now your son is 19 year old Can your girlfriend sue you for child support?

You can be held responsible for back child support. You may not be required to pay future support because the child is of age. Any support will have to be court ordered so consulting an attorney would be wise.

If court ordered, yes.


If eighteen year old child changes name to mother's new husband's name and is still in school in Nevada who pays child support?

The fact that the 18-year-old legally changed their name is irrelevant. Legal Dad (which would be biological Dad, not step-dad) is still responsible for child support for as long as the court has ordered.


Can you Compel parent to get a job to pay child support?

The court can. I receive a request for help this week from a 62 year old man who lost his motorcycle shop in a divorce, but is ordered to pay child support. The judge ordered him to apply for jobs in a 30 mile radius. The economy and his age is working against him.


If a 16 old girl is pregnant does her father stop paying child support to the mother and can the 16 year old collect child support from the boyfriend in the state of kansas boyfriend is 18yrs old?

No and No.This is ludicrous at the very best. The father is paying child support because of a court ordered decree when he and his ex-spouse ended their marriage. The father continues paying until the daughter attains the age of 18. To expect the 16 year old boy (also a child in a legal sense) to pay child support is ridiculous and beyond belief.
