It's not in the dictionary.
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
Depends on how long the visit is. But if the father is the non-custodial parent in this case, then he will have to pay child support on this child. Different states vary in their laws. But typically a "visit" will not affect child support.
No, but your mother can as long as she filed a petition for child support and he did not pay.Child support goes to the parent to use for the child's expenses, and not paid directly to the child.
hi as long you are in the u.s.a. and hes not 18 the father has to pay.
Your mother should have pursued your father in court for child support when you were young. In most jurisdictions you have no legal standing to sue your father for child support now, and especially if there was no original child support order. If there was an order at some time your mother may be able to sue for arrears but that seems not to be the case.
That depends on the child support laws of your state and how long you have been the legal or presumed father. In most states if you have been the legal father for at least four years it does not matter if you are not the child's biological father. You will still be held to be the child's legal father and required to pay child support unless you can locate the child's biological father. You have to actually file a petition in court to end your responsibility for child support and you really will need a family law attorney to assist you. The attached link has a family law attorney directory. In most States you can file a Petition to Disestablish Paternity. You generally must be current on your child support payments to do so. With the DNA evidence you can get the child support abated if you are not the Father.
Yes, as long as the legal custody schedule is changed, child support can also be adjusted.
That depends on how efficient the child support system is in your State/county and whether the father has any income to speak of.
Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.
No, not as long as the father has his own income then all support and arrears are his responsibility. However, if there is a order to withhold tax refunds and you file a joint return they may garnish your potentional funds.
You can file in the state where the child lives, however if the father never lived there, the state has no long arm jurisdiction on the father, so you will need to file in his state.
Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
