== == == == == == Financial obligations of either parent depends upon the terms of the child support order. If there is not a court order then the parent cannot be forced to pay a specific amount nor other expenses until an order of support has been received. Yes, the noncustodial parent is OBLIGATED to pay child support, figured out by a program entered into a computer program, based on each parents net income, as well as time shared by each parent, with the child or children. Both parents are required to equally share the child care costs incurred, while the custodial parent works and also goes to school in every state that I know of. As well as, costs incrued for any medical costs for the child over what the insurance pays out. Of course you need a court order to enforce this, although every court that I am aware of, will uphold these terms.
If the daycare is for the father's child, yes, at least half of the daycare depending on father's income versus ex's income. If the daycare is for the ex's child by another father, no.
My ex husband was in an accident and has not paid child support for 27 months. He is now drawing SS benefits which my child just started to receive benefits, his step-child is receiving the other half of the benefits. However, these benefits are less than what he was paying in child support
it really depends on whether or not there was a court order stating to do so or it could depend on an agreement between the parents. often it could be arranged that the father pays child support an then half of agreed things. eg, the starting school fee an school fees stationary, uniforms, medical aid etc. like i said it depends on the court or an agreement between the parents
Child support is not subject to garnishments. If your ex husband has a job, they will garnish his wages and can also garnish a tax refund check from the state or federal government. If you do not pay your half of the debt, and your ex is garnished for your portion as well as his, he can counter sue you for the portion that is your responsibility. A judge can change your child support order, and make it not payable until the garnishment is satisfied. Sounds like you need a job, and need to pay your bills.
yes. the child has up till a certain age to pursue back child support. the child can use back child support to go to college or use it for other stuff. even if you gave up your rights. the money won't go to the mother , it will go to the child. if she was adopted by a future husband that married your ex wife, then that's a different story. one thing is different from the other in the courts eyes. the longer the mother goes with petition the better the matter is with you. if she waits till the child is 16 or 17 then she can't control the money if you have to pay it. it can go straight into a account in you child's name only. if the child gets married early or starts working, the matter can change again. once the child becomes a 18 yr old, a petition will have to be done by the child and not the mother.
i had my ex pay child support, half medical, half child care....however that is normally figured in with the support
yes, he pays
No. But if your father has retired and is paying child support the child support order might need to be modified based on the income he have now.
In general, child support is a percentage of net income. If the obligor has the child for an extended period of time, the court may suspend support for that period.
I believe that you should. Do you care what happens to your child when you are not there? Are you concerned about their health and well-being when you are not there? Of course you are. As the father you have a life-long responsibility for that child. Take care of them and love them.
$50 at the most
If the child resides with you and more then half of the cost for the child is supplied by the father. The non-custodial parent can claim the child as a dependent if he has a court order stating thus. Otherwise no.
half of it the other half goes to the other parent of the child or no cause you both have the money to take care of the child
Child support is the other parents half of the expenses your child costs each month. You pay the other half. What you do in your private life, sleep with etc, can not change the fact that each parent have to pay for their child. He has an obligation to pay for his child just like you do so the child support goes to the one who has custody for the child. The court do not care about that you had an affair and will not let your child lose 50% of his/hers financial support because of it. Whether to pay or not is not up to the parents.
The DNA fingerprint of the father is compared with that of the child. If he is the true father, half of the bands on the child's DNA fingerprint will match with the father's, because the father provides half of the child's DNA.
The child is almost an adult, it seems a bit late to ask for child support now. By the time this get to court, the point may be moot. However, in some jurisdictions the court will reach back to assess child support.You need to consult an attorney.
Absolutely yes. If a man doesn't want children then he must practice contraception. You were half of the team that gave the child life and therefore you are responsible for it.
