if my ex signs over his rights to our daughter will he still have to pay child support or just the back child support? By the way this is in IL, I know laws are different in every state. Also what if the child in question lives in a different state other than IL??

This is done through the court with input from both parties.  Generally this occurs with the intent by the costodial parent to remove the other parent from contact.  The noncustodial partent usually does this to remove both the unpaid liabilities as well as future liabilities.  \n\nEven so, this will vary from State to State and the judge will often have final determination on what will occur.

I think it may depend on what state you live in and if kids are in the picture.My ex just took a few things and she was gone,which was her choice.I had to refiance in my name only and she had to sign off.Sometimes whoever wants the house may have to buy the other halves part from them.I guess all in all.... depends on your states laws...

Why on earth should what your Ex Wife does with her life affect what you provide for your child??Her remarrying does not change that you are that child's Father.

I don't know about the legal side of talking to the D.A., but in Oregon child support is based on the kids needs and a set formula. You can see what this is using the child support guideline calculator http://dcs.state.or.us/calculator/. And usually, he has to provide half of the insurance, and pay half of the medical bills not covered by insurance, no matter what his income is.\n\nNothing is cast in stone until the divorce is final however, and he doesn't have to pay support until then (but they usually make him backpay). My suggestion is to protect yourself and your kids first, worry about the financials later. In Oregon, able bodied workers can find jobs that should allow him to meet his financial obligations, and the state will take it out of his pay directly.\n\nGood luck.

I filed for divorce.  My attorney told me that it would make a better case in my favor (as a female) if I did so since my Ex was dragging his feet.  It did work out for me.  The judge granted me  sole custody of our child ( we were going for joint custody) and my ex was told to pay my attorney fees.

Actually I Knew a couple personally who divorced and had a little boy. After I think it was 1 year or a bit more the man moved back. For whatever reason they lived together (but they didn't remarry) They were quite content as things were. He was still paying his child support and had no problems with that. Nor did she. Too them they said it was like a bank account that he was responsible for and it was just for their daughter. So while he still payed the child support it was all going into this savings account that just had his wife and daughters name on it. Sometimes they used the money for birthdays or doctor's bills. But he said it was helping him focus on the fact that those child support payments were going directly to that account and in essence that account would be used for her colleage education.  So they just lived with that arrangement. But it was their choice and they made it work. (It's been 7 years and they are still doing the same thing).

If you won the lottery I would assume that you would pay all of your child support in order to care for your child.\n\nYour ex would probably take you back to court and have the support raised but I would again assume that one of the first things you would do is provide for your child with your winnings.

Contact a family law attorney...yes, you should be able to get the child support payments. The payment amount will probably be split between the two parents each of them being responsible for paying half to you. Keep in mind, that you take the chance of the mother trying to take the children away from you, so be ready for a custody "battle". It is a shame that your daughter hasn't willingly given you the support money she receives....you are after all giving her children stability, love, and a good life. \nGood Luck to you.

Child support can not be set retroactively-so until she files--he owes her nothing.  Once she files-the court can set support back to the date of filing--but not prior to.  After that, if he does not pay 'through the system' then it can be considered 'a gift'.  He should be paying approx 34% of his gross income for 3 children.  Based on what he was earning when they split--she can figure approx what she SHOULD be getting.  I doubt he has 'overpaid' her.  Have her apply at her local child support agency.   You can look up CA guidelines for support here:\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm

He cannot "sign away his rights", because he has no rights in the situation; he only has a responsibility.  Specifically, he has a responsibility to support the child he fathered.  Whether he wants to have anything to do with the child is irrelevant.  Not to put to fine a point on it, but your fiance sounds like an a**hole.

My ex pulled stuff too. Your ex will probably get away with it. Just concentrate on the custody. People like your ex will find a way of getting out of paying and you don't want someone like him raising your child.

Talk to a lawyer, If he has to pay child support.  As far as your son is concerned, Your ex obviously doesn't care.  If he was a good man and father he would make an effort.  I hope your new husband is a good man and is trying to make an effort.  Any man that doesn't care about his children or his wife's children is not a man.  \nBe there for your boy he needs support and a father figure, whether it's your father or husband he needs a father figure.  Not a replacement, he already has a dad, even if he is a dead beat.

The courts will have no problem with this, especially if the father agrees.\nAs for the child support issue--it makes no difference what the kid's name is, the guy is still the father and under court order to pay support.

He shouldn't be allowed visitation without paying child support.  That is what I was told when I got divorced, and even though my ex can be a raving *itch sometimes, she gets her check, and I get my visit....\n\nThat's just the way the world works.  Your lawyer should not only speak for you, but should insist that visitations be stopped until child support is enforced.\n\nAlso, I agree with the continuation, based on your current condition.\n\nBest of luck to you....

Under California law it does not matter how long you have been together regarding child support. It depends on how much each of you make and who gets custody. If you are the primary care giver, your child support is going to be paid according to how much time your ex-spouse spends with the kids. Also unless he adopted the child that is not the spouses biological child he does not have to pay any thing for the one child. As far as alimony goes once again it depends on income but since you have been married for 9 years you will only get it for four and a half years. The calculations are different from county to county as are some of the laws.

Leagally, he has rights to see her.  To take her from you, he has to prove you to be unfit.  That can be hard to do.  He will have to pay child support do to the fact that he is, by all rights, her father.  They could issue a paternity test since he name is not on the birth cirtificate but what I would do if I were you is find yourself a real good lawyer right now and get on the right track to securing your and your daughters future.  They would be far more knowledgable in this field and could help you more than strangers.  Everyone will have their own opinion, but it is up to you to do the right thing.

Find yourself a family law lawyer and figure out your options, you can still fight this, I think, as long as you're not back in child support. Or you could save up your money, go to the town your daughter lives in and try to pull her out of school and see her, maybe exchange a secret e-mail account that you can communicate with her through. If you do that, take a pic of you two so you have it with you always. Just make sure you have proof you are her father, just in case anything arises.
