The paperwork states that the grandparent that adopted my kids is the petitioner, child support services states differently.

Child support is not owed to the state. The state collects it forcibly if the parent will not pay willingly, but some states just collect if forcibly because they are nasty.  If you give your kids up for adoption, you owe nothing, and have nothing. A parent who gives up their kids must pay a great deal more than money. They will be paying a bit of themselves for the rest of their life.

No one ever said Divorce and Mediation was going to be easy, that's a little inside joke, SO let me ask you this On the child's birth Certificate Did your Ex-husband signed the part where it has the name of the Father of the Child ? does the child have his last name ? those are two matters that are important to you and the baby right now, Yes there is Help in situations like this and most women that face this same problem are not aware of their rights and don't know what services are available in the state of Oklahoma, the SRS office isn't just set up for people going on welfare and food stamps, We are here to help you, If you are a legal resident of the state of Oklahoma, you have rights in this State that you don't have in other States, that's why people move from State to State to get these rights, and lucky for you and your child, maybe that's why more people are getting divorced because of those rights, because women are really getting screwed over, when their husband Divorce them, The DNA test won't cost you anything if he's contesting the birth of the child after he signed the birth Cert, and has his last name on birth cert, because I'm sure like all young men in this State do find out in the end, He had plenty of time 120 days after the child was born to contest the birth then, and If he's using this as a divorce reason then SRS can help assist you and the child to conclude a DNA sample by getting it court ordered for him to have this done, Here's the fun part sweety ! If he is the Father he'll have to pay the state for getting this test done, $350.50 and he'll be ordered to pay child support from the day he filed for Divorce, That comes to around park figure of about $380.00 per month up to $425.00 per month yes this is just on one child, the discount comes from the Second child, this was done due to cost of living in the state of Oklahoma, If you know someone making less than that have them to go back to court to have their child support updated, If you need assistance contact the SRS in your county and they will assist you in this matter, By law I can't give you to much advice, unless you're assigned to me as you case worker. And I've been working for the state for over 22 years now. Not all male case workers are that bad and we're not out to get back at the women here...LOL..Besides I can really see your point on being upset when your husband is playing games with you and the child there, and continues to mess around by blaming you for it too... Give us a chance to teach these guys a lesson for you too, maybe word will get around better after we are done... LOL

Usually a parent who has been absent ( away from the child for jail, prison whatever) that wants to legally establish ( get ) rights for visitation\n\nAlso if you are unmarried it is the father trying to establish his rights.He would be required to do DNA test to show paternity.\nHe then would be required to pay support and could  get visitation, ( custody) etc.\n\nAnd anything filed in court is a petition... You are asking for something is what it meens\n\nIf he has been removed from the child ( not around at all and no support etc) and there is another "father" like you ar e now married and lets say your kid is 12 and the birth father has never been around etc. You may have a case to prevent him from getting visitation.

You need to talk with attorney. How did grandparents get custody? Why? How long have they had custody? Has he been seeing him? Usually there is a reason when a child is taken from parent & the courts or slow to move a child around too much.\nA family attorney can help you.

Absolutely......If your adopted parents can't help you with the name and address then you can request this through your local courthouse or through the attorney that handled the adoption. I wish you the best of luck with your marriage and your new life with your biological dad. I hope only for the best for you and your new spouse. Congrats!

You had a legal order for him to pay support and he failed to do so--that is why your husband was granted adoption of your child. Once your child was adopted--the boys father's obligation to pay ceased.  Unless you agreed to dismiss the arrears due to you-he would still owe you that $.  Are you sure it was a letter to you or a copy sent to the boys' biological father.  Here is the AR website:\n\nhttp://www.arkansas.gov/dfa/child_support/ocse_index.html\n\nit may just help to call the office where your order is and ask.  I've never heard of a custodial parent being subject to tax intercept.

have  you tried going through the adoption disclosure agency and registering with them.    I'm not sure where you live, but i contacted the one in toronto, On, and they found my birth mother but she didn't want to see me and i haven't seen her in 45 years.  My e-mail address is devon_46@hotmail.com if you need more information about the agency and live in or near the toronto area

Usually that happens with his consent.  See if he's willing to sign over his rights.  You also must be married for at least a year, and you're spouse must be willing to adopt the child.

If she is on public assistance she may have been 'forced' to name the possible father(s).  Or maybe the 13 year old child is starting to ask those questions...  \n\nIf he cooperates and goes through the support agency, chances are it will NOT go back to the day the child was born.  \n\nI also found this "In public assistance cases for one year prior to the date of the filing of the petition or complaint in California. (Family Code § 17402) In non-public assistance cases, retroactive to the date of filing the petition, complaint, or other initial pleading. (Family Code § 4009)"

Once biological parents sign the papers to release their child for adoption, they should not be able to renege except if proof of coercion exists.  It is not like marriage, where although people vow to love honor and cherish til death do they part, only to get divorced at a later time, the issue of adoption should focus on the child and what is best for them.  AS you say, unless proof of neglect or abuse has occurred, the adoptive family is the family with the rights.  The biological parents, once they have signed the papers, is really now in the eyes of the law, the sperm and egg donor

Go to your county child support enforcement office..  Most states have these in every county.\nOtherwise phone a lawyer and ask.\nThey won't charge you for asking.

yes they will go after him for back support. i live in Illinois and my daughters father lives in Colorado. we were married for 7 years. when i divorced him he totally stopped supporting her. for the past 5 years the state has collected child support from him. he demanded a paternity test so i went along w/ it and took one. the state told him if it shows that hes the father he has to pay the cost of the test, and guess what he had to pay the cost. he was just trying to get out of paying, he was trying to stall. but that only worked for so long. they will go after support all the way back till the day he was born.

Child support orders should originate in the state where the custodial parent lives. If you took him to court originally in Tenessee he would have had to modify that court order in Tenessee, not Alaska. Then you can appeal the decision your state. You should not need a lawyer for this. If you had "good faith" support, where no court was involved, then he could have legally filed in Alaska which then requires you to appeal to the courts in his state. The arrearages should only have gone back to the time you seperated not to when the child was born unless you seperated then. The fact that the child lives with him 47% of the time is going to severly limit the amount of support you could get from him. Consider this...he could file for support from you for the time the child lives with him. All of the papers you recieved from the court concerning the decisions made should tell you where you need to appeal. If you do not already have legal custody of your daughter you should file for it.

In Florida grandparents do not have any rights.  That is true, but usually DCF has to try to place children with family members, unless the parents are working a plan to get the kids back and are showing some progress, or if no family members can pass the background search.  I would advise your parents to call a family lawyer that deals with DCF in the Daytona area (call the Bar Association in that area) to see what information they can get. DCF is a bear to work with, good luck.

If money is tight, I would suggest contacting a local Legal Aid center. Usually, free legal clinics like that will have you meet with a volunteer lawyer there, who will assess your factual situation and determine whether the center can do something for you or, if your situation is particularly complicated, refer you to a lawyer who has a referral relationship with the center. At least, you may be able to get some information that will help you better formulate how to go about resolving the problem you're having with your grandfather's daughter. Sometimes, all it takes is a demand letter (i.e., a threat to sue) to prompt people to solve a problem without ever going into litigation.

Your story is inconsistent with normal operation for tax collectors.  You should provide more detail as to who is doing all of this stuff.  It is not at all uncommon for tax examiners to question if a child being used to qualify for Earned Income Credit lives with the taxpayer and to require some proof of that if there seems to be a question.  If children are removed from the taxpayers home by a social service agency that has nothing to do with the "tax collector".
