You did not mention the state that you are in or born in.

First the father has to be alive

Second did the father give up his rights to you. Terminate his parental custody to you?

If he did. He owes you nothing. And owes nothing to your mother.

Also if the mother never filed for child support and was never supported by the state that you were born and/or living in, and she supported you with her own earnings and nothing else, then child support was never an issue in the first place.

You need to see if you can contact your mother and find out more about your history with your father and her.

Also you should call Child Support Enforcement in your state and see if that is even possible to do.

It may not be possible due to the reasons above and/or now where you are an adult the claim may be null and void.

Depending on the state and all.

And depending on where you were born. Usually the state where you are born handles the child support collections for custodial parents, no matter how many times you move from state to state.

Who knows you may have money waiting for you as well. They may not of been able to find your mother to pay her during your time of growing up.

You can try, and in some states you may even win . But if I understand you correctly, and you allowed a man to THINK this child was his , and now expect him to continue to support this child, it sounds pretty sleazy . It's your child , you support it.

At the least, you will first need legal custody of the child - possibly adoption.

File a "child in need of care" motion for guardianship, along with a motion for child support.

What rights does a father have if the pregnant mother moves out of state?

Parents' and children's personal information is confidential (this includes the NCP). Yes if he has access rights. see links below depends on the situation. if you dont have joint legal custody then no, you have no right. however if you do then yes you have the right or if you have a visitation agreement that states that you are to pick up or drop off child at the CPs home then you have the right (and you also have to have the information)

Can you still get spousal support if you were not married?

Probably not, the person under most U.S. state laws would not be considered a spouse if they were not legally married. There are a few states that still recognize common law marriages. However, the qualifications for such a union are established by the laws of those states and can be quite complicated.


If an 18 year old goes to live with sister and is still in high school are you reqiured to pay child support?

I could be mistaken, but I believe that child support only applies for the biological mother/father of the actual baby. As you are the father/mother of the mother, I don't think you have to pay anything, even if you're daughter is only 16. The 18 year old is the one that has to worry . . . but this could also change depending on what country/state you're from. Im from NSW Australia, and that's what would apply here, but things could be different for you. Wishing you the best of luck in the future . . . Having a child does not emancipate a person. Your 16-year-old daughter is still a minor, and therefore you'd still have to pay child support for her (notice I said *her* not her child). I'm assuming she's not married and is still in school and lives at home?


If you are not the father after signning the birth certificate do you have to continue to pay child support?

This question is a complicated one in that the laws of paternity do not necessarily establish the biological father as the father for child support purposes but rather look to the circumstances surrounding the case. Your husband is what is known as a presumed father, which is essentially a man that was married to the mother when the child was born, legally agreed to be the father of his wife's child (by signing the birth certificate, and has acted and behaved as the child's father. You cannot receive child support from both the presumed father (if he is still your husband) and the biological father (assuming he admits to being the father) and a court would likely determine your husband to be the father for purposes of child support.

Maybe, but it is more likely that the person will have his wages garnished or bank account levied until the arrearages are paid. The issue of whether or not the father was married to the mother of the minor child is not relevant when it relates to child support obligations.

Does support stop when the mother dies?

Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child. Why should the child be deprived of financial support if her mother dies. The order can be modified and it will be paid over to her legal guardian if that person is not the other parent.Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child.

Will a parent have to continue support to a person who reached the age of majority and is now married?

Once they have reached the age of majority, the parents are no longer responsible. And the fact that they are married would indicate that they are emancipated if they are not the age of majority. There is no longer a legal responsibility to support their children.
