It depends on who has legal custody.
If the grandparents are legal guardians and the child is living with them, the both of you as the biological parents have to pay child support to the grandparents.
With the facts given...the mother is the one that would qualify under the tests, especially the support and residence ones. Which without, the grandparents don't qualify to claim the child in any case.
The custodian of the children is entitled to the child support payments. The only way to keep the mother from getting the child support payments would be to have the grandparents petition the court for custodial rights - which could be extremely difficult, depending on your state.
if the mother terminates her rights can he collect child support from the mother if child lives with him?
I would think that you would have to file a petition in the Family Court of the area that the child lives in, and then you would have to prove her to be an "unfit" parent.
No, she is not an adult at 16. The court has declared the grandparents are the legal guardians. They determine where she lives and when she can move out.
Do you have a court order saying you have visitation? Are you the biological father? If so then YES. Go back to court and file for custody.
Only if he's included in the claim.
The mother files in Florida and child support enforcement handles it from there.
Yes.
yes.
