It means giving up control of the person - on purpose because you meant to and letting the other person say what will happen to the person.  You're out of it and you want to be and they want you to be.

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.

A judge will pretty much agree with anything the two of you agree upon, as long as the children are priority.  An Agreed modification of custody will do the trick. Good Luck!  (And generally, child support is figured based on one parent having all the kids, the other paying support for both parties and then subtracting the difference.  If Dad would pay mom $300.00 per week for all, and Mom would pay dad $175.00 per week for all, dad would pay $125.00 if he had custody of 2 and mom had custody of 2)  Generally, not always...

If a parent has no contact with a child for 6 solid months, it's called abondonment in which he can lose his parental rights and be available for adoption by this new daddy!  He can get legal aid, which goes by his income, but he would have to look into it.

laws very from state to state. i don't think you can collect support after the child was adopted because the father would have to give up his rights. when he did that he relieves his self of past payments due. most men give up there rights as a father to keep from paying child support. but i would check w/ a lawyer to be on the safe side.

I think if he has been ordered to pay child support some type of parternity must have been established.  He can go to court and stop you from moving out of state.  I would contact an attorney and talk them about this.  Good luck!

I don't know, but the Web site below might help. It's a Q&A about court requests to terminate parental rights. It would also seem a child 12 or older can object to the proceedings.

The courts will follow the law.  But there are also always exceptions.  There are laws regarding the order of the priority of the obligation to support a child.\n\nDo a google for your state and "child support calculator"  You will get a page that will help you see what the law says.\n\nThere are several things to consider.  \n\nFirst, HAVE A PATERNITY TEST DONE.  It costs about $100 and can save you tons of money if the child isn't yours.\n\nSecond, oddly enough, in the eyes of the court, there is only a small amount of money they have to leave you to support yourself and your family.  You will be able to look at the laws if you do the google I told you about.  Or google for your state and "child support guidelines."  But the standard is that you can expect to pay one weeks take home pay per month in child support.  And that is normal, not excessive in the eyes of the court.\n\nBut you really need a good lawyer.  Not knowing about the child does not remove your obligation, but your situation provides you with some compelling arguments for decreased child support to be ordered.  Plus there is the question, why did the mother wait until now to request child support?\n\nWhen you prepare for court, make sure you have details of your family budget, all your bills, the expenses for your children, etc.  Come up with any paperwork you can.\n\nBut I will warn you, if you have a nice house, nice cars, etc., the court is not going to have much sympathy.  It sounds dumb, because logical people can see that you worked hard to be able to provide your family with nice things and that you didn't budget for the expense of the other child, but in the eyes of the court, that child has a right to a percentage of your money, like it or not.\n\nGood luck.  And as expensive as it may be, get a good lawyer. It may save you tons of money in the long run.

If one parent has custody, the other parent has to pay child support.  It doesn't matter who makes more money.  Children are entitled to financial support from both parents.

Yes she can.  I suggest she open a case with the local child support office; services are free, some may require an initial $25 application fee.  Her caseworker can then take many legal actions against the non-custodial parent.

As long as there is not a medical condition preventing her from working she will be required to pay child support. The child support can be deducted out of her pay check. The amount of her assistance won't change. Even if she is on assistance the law requires that she supports her daughter the same way that her dad did.

Your playing with fire there. The court could very well take them away from all of you. You want child support from the biological father you file for it at the prosecutors office, and they handle it.
