I have (2) questions about child support, can you please help?????

Question

Question #1

If the non custodial parent never paid child support, because the parent sign away his rights when the child was about 2 years of age, & the child is now 11, (8) years passed & a case was never opened, can the custodial parent (mom) file for child support??? She would have to give him his rights back first right???




Question #2

If the father is paying the mom child support for his child- the legal way, & mom goes to court & say she don't want anymore child support- she's not on assistance or anything, will the case stay open for the future in case if it doesn't go well with the parent (father), or you can't re-open it again once you close it?????

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

The courts would need to decide both of these questions. Were the parental rights signed off in court or an agreement between parents? All of the situations would be considered and decided on in the courtroom.

Answer 2

Q1 - Mom can't just give back his rights...he would have to request it..doesn't sound like that's going to happen, so he is not responsible for child support.

Q2 - Mom can't go to court to give up child support - if she refused child support payments, dad would be required to keep an account for child support payments to show good faith to the courts in case wacko mom decided later on that she wanted the support.

Answer 3

It would not count what surname the youngster has - as long because of the fact the father is listed on the delivery certificates. the youngster will maximum in all likelihood be a twin-citizen from delivery - in case you have ever lived interior the u . s . a . or if the father is American. only be certain you sign up that is delivery with the yankee Embassy in London. whilst you're actually not married you will probable desire the father's help to sign up the delivery as he will ought to sign a assertion confirming that he's the father. If he refuses to try this you may ought to ask for a dna attempt in the previous you are able to declare any baby help. :-)

Answer 4

Hey hon,

Child support is not a RIGHT, it is a DUTY and cannot be signed away. They are separate.

Rights to visitation can only be "signed away" in court - doesn't sound like you two did that.

File the paperwork.

But Dad may ask for visitation, and he may just as well get it. If there has been a long gap in time as youve described, the court will work to give him short periods of time at first (supervised visitations transitioning later to unsupervised). that's how it works.

Good luck.

Answer 5

I believe that once a parent has signed away legal rights to a child that theres no reversing it. And if you sign off on child support, theres no reversing that either. It's best if you contact your local friend of the court office for specific answers.
