after six years can a person ask for child support.  What if there is no DNA that proves the paternity, and hes never seen or met this child.  WHta if the child and mother live in tijuana and not U.S citizens

You can submit all you want to but, if the father contests it you will need a paternity test (Maury does them for free if you air all your dirty laundry on national television) or he will probably not have to pay a dime.  Also, it will require the mother to travel from her home in Mexico.

have no idea how things work in the Mexican Government, any idea where he grew up or where his parents live?  You could try contacting them.  Other wise it's nearly impossible, that's why people go there when they are running from the law here.  Good Luck & Best Wishes.

From everything you have said it is only quite obvious that he doesn't have the stability for custody, however the court will probably give him some sort of visitation because he is the father and wants to see his children. The mother could have stipulations put on this such as court ordered drug testing and supervised visits to make sure that he is staying clean, and considering his past with drugs, the court would be likely do this. You didn't mention if your friend had an attorney. It would probably be a good idea to seek an attorney's advice on this.

Contact that states Child Support Enforcement Unit and ask them.  They can best answer your question.

Three to five years (depending on the state) of no contact with or support for the child. Do an internet search on the Florida laws for child abandonment and you should find plenty of info on that kind of thing. Good Luck:)

If you have children who are dependents of a Military member currently serving then there are several recourse's.  If that individual is neglecting his/her responsibilities for the care of their child then contact the members command First Sergeant (or equivalent) or the Base Judge Advocate Generals Office (JAG) and report the lack of support. Remember to have all your legal documents ready and any proof you have of the parentage of the child. If you or the member have doubts as to the parentage of the child you may be required to submit to a DNA sample from Yourself and any children in question.  Military law requires!!! that a member show financial support for their children (Unless custody/divorce proceeding states otherwise). You may also sue in civil courts for parental support for the child(ren) in question contact a local Family law practitioner for more info on that.

What does your court order say? Has he paid you child support? You can try and claim her but it may get rejected you can fight it threw the IRS. My ex hasn't paid child support for almost 5 years and he still claims our son. I called the IRS and they said as long as I had a Court order I could fight it.

The mother would only get child support from the time the case is filed for child support...I know this because I waited eight years to file on my now exboyfriend and could not get back child support, it started from the date I filed, and more than likely it will start from the date she filed...You will need to contact your division of child support enforment or contact juvi-courts in your state and get the process started before the child gets older.   good luck.

"Who can advise me on child support issue? i go to court take the dna test come out that i'am not the father of this baby n now the judge refuse to give back the money they took from me why...."\n\nThe quick answer to your question is "Courts don't take candy away from babies."\n\nIt sounds like you voluntarily paid child support thinking that you were the child's father.  \n\nBut you didn't have to.  You could have immediately sought to have paternity established by going to court and asking for a DNA test to be administered.  That would have made it obvious that you weren't the responsible party and kept you from having to pay support.\n\nSince you voluntarily paid the support-- you did it of your own free will and the court isn't going to just give you the money back because you were a decent guy who did the right thing and ponied up the dough when he thought he should-- even though he didn't really have to.\n\nThat said, depending on how the woman convinced you that the child was yours, you might have a case for fraud.  Depending on the amount of money involved, you could take the case to small claims court.  But again, unless the woman lied to you or actively participated in some deception that caused you to believe you should pay support, you won't get very far.  Your voluntary action not induced by deception is just something you have to live with.\n\nAnd I'd suggest you take pride in it.  Even if it wasn't your kid, stepping up to provide support for a child is an honorable thing to do.  Some fathers try to avoid paying support for their own children.  And here you are-- not even related to the kid-- and you put up money for support.  Don't look at it like you got duped-- I sure don't have a higher opinion of the mother now-- look at it like you were the guy who did the right thing because you chose to do it.   The world needs more guys like that.\n\nEdit on Additional Facts:  It sounds like some sort of fraud might have taken place.  Get a complete copy of the case file and at least a transcript of the court hearing in which the default judgment was granted.  You can try filing a separate action for fraud-- where you'll show she lied in order to obtain the judgment and should now owe you the money.  Alternatively, you could try going before the same judge that gave the default judgment to prove the same fraud and argue that she should have to pay you at least back to the time you filed for the paternity test-- since no support payments that were taken from you after that were in anyway vested as they were clearly in dispute. \n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

1. Continue with the child support action.  \nSince you say it was filed "through the state" the only issues at trial should be (1) paternity and (2) the amount of child support. The child support will be retroactive to when the case was filed, and may be retroactive to the date the child was born.  \n\nIf your ex is still in the military your child support will come out of his pay and the military will send the check directly to you.  Your child will also be eligible for all dependent coverage, including medical insurance, medical care through military hospitals, beneficiary of your ex's life insurance, disability pay, death benefits, etc.  Talk to a JAG at the base closest to you and find out what these are.\n\nChild visitation will probably not be heard at the trial, the ex would have had to have filed a separate action asking for visitation.  Even if he did, or does in the future, he's not goinng to get much, if any, given he's not seen or supported the child in two years.  \n\nIn the eyes of your daughter your husband is "daddy", she does not need any paper to know that.\n\nAt some time, in six or eight years, you can, if you want, inform her that 'daddy' is not her bio father.  In ten or sixteen years, or after bio dad is out of the picture (e.g. he's out of the military and you can't find him) your husband can adopt the child.  \n\nOf course, seek advice from an attorney who can ask and answer more questions than this posting can.

If the biologcial father has not been in her life since she was 2 years old,  then I am guessing that he has never paid child support either.  I do not know how things work in your state,  but look into filing for child support through the courts.  Put the locating on THEM.  Once he is located he will have to come up with the back child support or face jail.  The option of terminating rights could be presented to him at that time.  (Kind of like sign here and get out of jail free).  That is how my father had to do when it came to adopting my sister.  You would be surprised how quickly they sign to stay free.

Check this out...\n\nhttp://www.lanwt.org/txaccess/PATERNITY.asp\n\nRead through it, but if you scroll about 3/4 of the way down, it answers your question "SHE SAYS IT IS NOT MY BABY AND SHE WON’T LET ME HAVE VISITATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO?"\n\nBasically, if you request a paternity test through the court, the mother must let one be done on the baby.

legally no he is not responsible to pay you child support since the court system has no way to trace him since he has no social security number or green card. the only catch is if he had a ti#(tax payer id #) he can be traced this way but if he works under fake name or social security number u are outta luck and there is nothing that can be done. you can speak to him and see if he is willing to help u finically but have him deport is not really going to help because most cops wont mess with a little thing like child support it has to be a felony before the deport him..

I believe that in most states you can.  If there is an official child support order in place and he has not paid it, then after you turn 18 and you are a legal adult, you should be able to.  I like other people's answer about checking with your local officials.

You should talk to a family law lawyer.  They might be able to give you some free advice.  \n\nI think you could go through classes to be foster parents, though, and that would help your case.\n\nIf non-biological dad ever adopted, there is no problem.\nIf not, it will also probably be considered how long he has been in the child's life.  \n\nThe courts do TRY to do what's best for the child.

I'm sure it depends on the state you live in, take Okla. If the noncustodial parent hasn't paid support for 12 out of 14 mos. it's pretty easy. I'd check with a lawyer, you'll need one anyway and most will give you a free consult.

Is he paying child support for these children?  If so, then he needs to go back and get the support order amended to allow visitation rights.  You also need to get a paternity test- if the kids aren't his, he shouldn't be paying support for them and he won't get visitation.
