Your niece lives with you but you are not her legal guardian can you help her sue her father for child support she is 15 and wants me to help her?

If you are their legal guardian, you can collect child support from both parents of the child. If you are not their legal guardian and they just live with you, you do not have rights to child support.


Can i claim money from my biological father when he has never been around or paid child support?

I believe your "active" parent would need to initiate and start the process. The money you seek from the absent parent, by law, would be for child support for the active parent to help with expenses that occur with raising a child. I recommend contacting your local Child Support Agency to ascertain what steps your active parent needs to take to see if they (you) can start the process. You can do a search by typing "child support" and add in your city, state. Good Luck! But, be careful in this regard. A growing number of relationships with mothers are being destroyed when the children are learning their mothers did get child support and was denying the father access to his children. There are non government programs to help enforce court order visitation like there is for child support.

Can the guardian of a child stop child support?

No. The guardian of a minor child cannot "relieve" the parent of their child support obligation. That power is reserved for the courts. If the guardian doesn't need it to help support the child then it should be deposited into a trust with the child as the sole beneficiary at college time.


What is the definition of child support?

Generally, in a divorce when one parent is awarded the custody of the children, the other parent is ordered to pay child support so the child can share in the standard of living of both parents. It is the amount of money the non custodial parent must pay to help meet the expenses associated with raising their child on a daily basis. When determining the amount of child support, the courts must consider the state child support guidelines, the parents' income and earning capacity and the amount of time the children spend with either parent. Child support must be paid until the child is 18 years of age. If the child is living with the receiving parent and is in high school, child support will end when the child completes 19 years of age or graduates whichever occurs first.

There are no valid reasons not to get child support. That money is supposed to be used to help raise the child.

It is not your son's money, it is yours to help pay for his support.
