Yes. Your child is your financial responsibility, and the fact that others are forcing the state to support other children does not relieve you of your obligation. State laws govern the determination of the INDIVIDUAL financial needs of offspring, and you should advise your counsel if you feel your support is being inflated by the costs of maintaining children not your own.
The parent either mother or father is obligated to pay child support until that child/children turn 18 years old.
If by your state laws, you are obligated to pay beyond high school, than you can request that your payments go directly to the children, PLUS file a motion that the amount the residential parent was obligated to spend on the children, also be sent to them. In a Missouri case, when the child took up residence with her boyfriend, while away at college, and was no longer living with the mother, the mother was obligated to pay her part, based on the child support guidelines, to the daughter. The mother lost on appeal. It was her belief that only the father should be obligated. With two child support payments, the daughter was getting $1800 a month for living expenses.See related link below
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
No. If your present husband is the father of the children of his previous marriage and is the custodial parent he would have to sue his ex-wife (the children's mother) for support.
If you're in the US, yes, he's still obligated to pay his regular child support.
If you mean, the child's mother (ex-wife) has custody, the child's father (ex-husband) is obligated or potentially obligated for support.
yes
No, the father must support his previous child. You knew this when you had a new child with him.
The father of the child (whether he was ever legally married to the child's mother or not) is obligated to pay the child support. His new spouse cannot be LEGALLY obligated to pay it since she has no part in the action at all, but there is no bar to her helping her husband pay it if she wishes to do so.
Yes. It is only fair that the mother has to pay child support. It is no different than if a woman and a man had separated and the mother was a single mother that he would have to pay child support. It is about the welfare of the children, not about who is taking care of the children.
It is in the best interest of your child for you to pay child support. If the child is still living in Mexico and the mother has a court order, you need to pay support. If there is no court order, you are not legally obligated to pay support.
Yes, unless/until the child is adopted.
