NO YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT LIKE ANYONE TO GET HELP IF THE ABSENT PARENT IS NOT THERE,BUT IF YOU GET GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE IT CAN.

It all depends on how you paid child support. If the payments were directly to the payee, then you can get a letter signed by that person and have it notarized. If they payments are through the courts, you can ask the court for record of payment.\n\nIf you paid via money order or checks, you can use those to your benefit if the above two are not an option.

If, when you were born your father was a citizen, you may be eligible for citizenship. Ask an immigration lawyer or consular office.

Check with an immigration lawyer. If you do something wrong it can ruin your chances of permanent residence and citizenship.

It ordinarily depends on 3 things:\n1) The state laws where you're living,\n2) The number of children, and\n3) The income of the non-custodial parent.\n\nMost states have child support offices that can help you create/modify child support orders.  You should also be able to hire a private attorney (which may get faster results).

Plus be warned that even applying for a foreign citizenship can result in your citizenship in being revoked.  The US operates with a don't ask don't tell, but losing your US citizenship and all the protections it affords (Social Security, gov't protections while abroad, etc.) is a big deal.

in most cases no. The court usually set the child support soly on the fathers income. However anything that is considered unpaid medical may be split in a way that isnt 50/50.  In that case your combined income may be used.\nIf you have any other questions,or issues, let me know. I will tell all, I have been through about every custody and child support issue known.

it probably won't make a difference.  the usual policy is that after 3 years, you can apply for perminant leave to remain, and after 5 years you can apply for citizenship.  but you cant have lived outside the uk for more than 6 months from your application date

as a person who has represented and been in the system to see my child and helped others to know what is the circumstances help, and the age of the kids, and what territory they are in .\n\nOtherwise you can apply to see your kids through the courts without a lawyer but i can only advise if i know th circumstances and i deal with canadian law.

If the child isnt with the mother then no the mother cannot get child support for a child shes not supporting either. The money might be sent to whoever is supporting the child yes. If they are living outside of the US it might work different I am not sure. One of the parents living in the US should have the child. Why is she living outside the US?

If it's for a child then you have the normal rights of a parent, while it is in force.  Parental rights may also be shared between yourself and the the local authority.  There may be some restrictions about taking the child abroad, etc, but these will be noted on the Order.

it's gonna be tough for you.  right now, the government is now proposing that, for children born in Ireland of foreign parents, citizenship at birth will only be granted if one of the parents has been legally resident in Ireland for at least three of the four years before the birth.\n\nit's not a question of you can or cannot.  if you really want to, sure you can but don't be so sure of you and your baby's citizenship.  it's harder than you thought.

You can't commit bigamy if you are not married. Civil partnership as it is called in the UK is NOT marriage, but it affords many of the privileges that married people enjoy, especially with regard to taxation and ownership of property. \n\nWith regard to immigration, the law still hasn't caught up yet so no, you can't apply for citizenship based on civil partnership...yet. It will change soon though.

No there is not nor does it directly affect their status as an illegal immigrant.\n\nMarriage to an American citizen may allow the illegal entrant to more easily adjust his status but it does not, as the previous answer stated, grant him or her citizenship.

The only way to change your child support if there is a court order is to go to the court that has jurisdiction (more than likely the court that ordered child support) and put in a Motion to change your current order.

My daughter was born in England and had dual citizenship upon her birth. I had to send in the long form in order to change the citizenship to the one I wanted her to have.
