Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail. He MUST pay the court ordered amount and if he doesn't make enough, he needs to get another job. Most states can attach his wages. Remarriage has no bearing on child support. But will have on spousal support. Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail.

∙ 13y agoIf the father is willing to pay the past due child support and is working I think the father should get eather house arrest or an ankle monitor because if the judge put him in jail the current and past child support will not get paid the father will lose his job and he will be right back where he started. The judge would then be apart of the problem instead of being part of the cure.

∙ 13y agoIf there is a court order for him to pay child support, the best thing to do is report his delinquent payments to your local Department of Human Services. They will work to collect the money he owes.

In Connecticut can a father give up parental rights so he doesn't have to pay child support?
Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?

Yes, you can. Most states prohibit naming a father without either a marriage license or a DNA test.

Also, in almost all child support cases, the child's last name is changed to the father's last name.

Can a women put a man on child support for one child but continually have children from him?
A woman has no authority to put a man on child support, it must be ordered by a judge after proving that the man is the father of the child. If you have another child from the same man, child support is not automatic, you must petition the judge to review the situation after each child. If the mother and father are both consenting adults, they can make as many babies as they like, but that does not mean they should. Your relationship is your business. Children born to a single mother can become public business and a judge may determine the consequences. Some of the consequences could be ordering child support from the father, denying additional child support (not likely), or ordering the children be remanded to the custody of the state if a single parent is not able to provide for the child adequately.

Child support and child custody are handled separately. In most cases delinquent child support payment does not affect the rights of the father. The father can still petition to avoid you moving the child out of state but, doesn't necessarily mean it will be granted. Unless both parents can come to an arrangement/agreement in what's in the best interest of the child.
