SHE HAS TO REPORT HIM LIVING THERE.  BUT DHS AND CHILD SUPPORT WORK TOGETHER NOW.  IF SHE DOES NOT TURN IN THE FATHER TO CHILD SUPPORT SO DHS CAN COLLECT THIER MONEY FROM HIM SHE WILL LOSE HER MONIES.  ALSO IF HE IS REPORTED SHE AND HE WILL HAVE TO PAY BACK THE STATES MONEY.  AND THERE ARE ALSO SOME DHS SYSTEMS THAT MAKE THE MOTHER WORK FOR HER SMALL CHECK.

There is really no criteria needed to report possible neglect ...  I am a social worker and from what I see, this family needs to be reported and have the CPS investigate if there is any type of neglect that needs to be taken care of.  You can call your local police dept for the CPS phone number and you can always make the report anonymously!

The IRS can't tell you because they're bound by the Privacy Act.  \n\nIf you're entitled to claim yourself and your children, file your own tax return, claim yourself and the kids, and then both you and the other person will be contacted by the IRS.  The IRS will make the decision as to who is entitled to claim you and the kids.

Nope.   But if you file a domestic violence charge on someone they are removed from the house and made to find another place to stay.  They are not allowed to contact you or any family of yours to get to you.  They cannot come within 500 feet of you or your job or your family.   If they do it can be pushed to a felony and that person will spend some time in jail until the hearing then they can post bond.

No there isn't. Call Social Services and tell them about it and give them any info you can. You will remain anonymous. Do it for that child, don't be scared

It depends on what it is they are withholding.  If your employer gets an official notice for child support, for example, they don't have to even notify you of the withholding.  It will just be done.

i think that you are mandated to report any abuse. even if you aren't if you know some one thats being abused you should tell anyways, mandated or not

It would be unfair to make such an assessment without knowing more including "his" version. To make it simple yes he can gain custody. Peeping issue was he convicted? Like I said no one can truthfully give you a good answer as none of us know your situation

I most cases this depends on a few things ( the state you live in, your judge, age of your child, date of when he filed for vists) I know in Michigan the father is responable for all of this. My ex has to pay for everything when our son was born.

In the U.S. male parents'  rights to custody are much abridged compared to females', but this varies from state to state. If you don't tell him and never ask for support, he has no claim.\n\nThe courts only care about the child's perpsective and the child will never know either.  For health reasons fior your child , you should keep tabs on the Dad as best you can, because your child is genetically half him, inherting things like predispositions for various cancers, heart and circulatory problems. Parental medical history is important. Finally, the child might figure out one day that whoever raised him is not his/her biological father. Maybe it will be a blood typing issue, or a looks thing. A psychologist friend of mine who worked with at-risk youth in public schools once told me that regardless of the background and history, the bio-parent is very important to a child. So, you should be prepared to let your child know when they are 18 if not sooner.\n\nThis is off the question a bit; you have an ethical obligation to tell the man you are with now that the child is not his.

The parents were reported to child protective services, but there is no update to what happened. The father agreed to not allow the mother to be unsupervised with the kids at anytime. I hope, for the children's sake, that this family can get help.

They don't have to. If you have a divorce decree that gives you rights to claim a dependant (sometimes annually or every other year, or not at all) then the custodial parent must honor that. In fact you can file with the deduction by providing copies of the signature page and the tax portion of the decree. If you do not have a divorce decree stating you have rights to claim....you have NO right to claim without the permission of the custodial parent who will have to provide form 8332.\n\n*** I'll qualify that, by saying the other person has legal custody, that is an indication that the child lived with the custodial parent as well for half or more of the year and that that parent paid for at least half of the support of said child...or that the parent has sole custody of the child....That all being true...you cannot claim the child without permission of the custodial parent. Check out the 2nd link for all the rules regarding dependants.

Most states won't let you terminate parental rights unless the other person is remarried and their new spouse wants to adopt the child.Children can not be left "fatherless",at least this is what my lawyer told me.Even if his rights were terminated,he is still responsible for child support unless someone else adopts the child.

not if he is your son. family members are exempt from HIPPA regulations, if you go through the proper channels and your son has given permission.

CPS does not arbitrarily take children from their parents. Either someone got arrested, complaints about abuse were filed and investigated, or living arrangements were dangerous for the child. Any way, the parents would have full knowlege of the proceedings.\n\nThis sounds like you are trying to find out why somebody else's child was taken. If you are closely related to the child, call CPS.

In many cases even proving you are not the father doesn't mean anything.  In Washington, if you are married when the child is born, you have to pay child support when you get a divorce even if you aren't the fater.  You can prove that it isn't yours, and still have to pay child support because you were married at the time.  Also, if you get married to a single mother, help raise the child, then get a divorce, you still have to pay child support because you "acted" as the father.  In both cases you can get out of child support once you prove who the real father is and force him to pay.\n\nIt may seem unfair, but you have to think about the kids.  It is unfair to person paying for a kid that isn't theirs, but it does help the kid.  The last thing the courts want is a kid who isn't provided for.  they would rather screw a thousand adults before they screw one kid.

If he is the father you can't have the birth certificate removed.  I believe that if you get a court to grant you full custody of the child, the father will no longer be able to claim the child on his taxes as a dependant.
