A child must be emancipated, and having a child does not emancipate a child in MS.
He owes you child support (or to the State, if the child is receiving cash assistance). But he should be paying that through the MS disbursement unit, not to you directly.
He can give up his parental rights (this usually happens as part of the adoption process), but his support obligation continues until/unless the child is adopted. There is no "right not to pay child support."
If it's ordered by the court, yes.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
Even sole custody fathers can be ordered to pay child support, when they earn more than the mother. see links
Depends. Legal age of emancipation, for child support purposes, is 21 in MS. Meaning that you are obligated to pay child support until the child reaches 21. Exceptions do apply such as, the child getting married or moving out on his/her own, not maintaining a full time student status or joins the military full time before the age of 21, then child support, by order of the courts, can possibly be stopped.
That will depend on the original parenting plan filed with the court during your divorce. You will probably have to go to court and file a motion to stop child support since he has dropped out of school.
Yes, 3% simple
In (MOST) states. If a child is still in school and still living at home. They can make you pay up to 19 1/2 years of age and possibly 7 years of college! So worst case is 26 1/2 years of child support. Hope your kid is not too motivated! lol
The child doesn't receive child support. The custodial parent does. The state of MS normally orders child support through the age of 21, if the child is still in school. However, there are situations that would be cause for termination of support. For exampe, if the child "cohabits with another person without the approval of the parent obligated to pay support". You can find the laws regarding this under MS Code 93-11-65(8a).
the state that approved it. or whichever state you signed the papers at.
There are two answers to this, a legal one and a practical one.Legal first: the court may not impose a duty on the new wife to support the child, any more than they could walk out of the courthouse, grab a random passerby, and order them to pay the child support.However: In the absence of a prenuptial agreement to the contrary, money earned by either spouse is usually considered to be held in common. So while the court can't order her specifically to pay the child support, they very definitely can order him to pay it, or go to jail and have his assets seized.That leads us to the practical answer that if he can't or won't get a job then it may just be easier all around for her to pay it. This obligation would, of course, cease when she comes to her senses and divorces the deadbeat herself.
