VA Child support 1 child age (17)?

What is the question?

Until a minor reach the age of 18, his parents are generally responsible for all legal expenses he may incur.  However, as child support is generally scaled to income, it's unlikely a high school student would be asked to pay child support (as his income would be below the minimum limit).  When he finishes school he may be made to pay child support.

I believe that in most states you can.  If there is an official child support order in place and he has not paid it, then after you turn 18 and you are a legal adult, you should be able to.  I like other people's answer about checking with your local officials.

It would seem to me that if the child is not yet the age of majority and still attending school(all though its consider \n"adult ed") and still living with you..the child support should continue.\n\nYour ex..could petition the court to have the child support cease, if the child is not living with you and/or if the child is not attending school.

You need to speak with either a child support enforcement officer of a lawyer.

Marsh, with child support it goes strictly on his income. If he has lost some of his income since the order was first in effect he can ask for a lower amount. Yes, having a child in his home, as long as it is his, also counts for him. He will just have to talk to them and ask for a lower amount due to having a child now with you. It will not make a difference though if his income has went up.

depends on the situation. I know kids who have emancipated themselves from their parents at the age of 17. As long as you have someone to stay with cps ought to be able to get off of your back. FYI: I'm a Texan too, proud and true!

you will recieve some money for each child under 18 that is the biological child of the mother.  this will be based on the amount of disabiltity the mother recieves monthly.

Ok, below are the links you will find helpful.  \n\nOne is for the NC child support calculator. You can enter your information and his information and it will tell you how much money you should get. I will warn you that as a student, you are considered under-employed, so they will impute a minimum amount of income on you.  Basically, they will come up with an amount that you should be earning for use in the calculator.  I am not 100% about the rules since you are a student, but most likely they will still impute minimum wage full time which is $210/wk or $840/month.\n\nAs for the insurance, medical bills, etc.  It depends on what has been ordered.  If he has a court order to provide the support, he has to.  If there is no order, he doesn't.  The child support calculator asks about payment of insurance premiums and accounts for that in the child support.  If he does not cover her, his child support is considered sufficient contribution, and he is not required to split medical costs with you unless ordered by the court.\n\nThe issue about him collecting the insurance checks, technically it is something you could take him to court for, but it would require copies of everything, and paying to go to court.  My suggestion would just be to take it as a lesson learned.\n\nThe issue about him not seeing her, etc. is basically a non-issue.  There is nothing you can do legally to force him to see her.  Its a waste of effort.  But I will tell you the same thing I was told and the same thing I advise everyone else to do, KEEP A JOURNAL.  Write down everything with regards to your daughter, child support, visitation, etc.  Keep track of every visit, every missed visit, every phone call, etc.  Also, get a file and keep all you receipts for clothing, school, medical bills,etc.  Any major purchases or expenditures for the child.  There will most likely arise a time as this continues, that the information and  records will be invaluable in court.  By keeping records you turn "hearsay" into fact, and you can show a record of everything that he has or hasn't done and when. Start NOW.\n\nIf you don't have these things (child support, insurance coverage, visitation) outlined in a court order, my suggestion is that you do so.  You can try to get a DSS attorney for free to work out the child support if you qualify, otherwise invest in a good lawyer and get everything taken care of right the first time.  You can go to family court yourself, but I have hear many judges get upset with parents for going to court without an atty.  The potential consequences of going to court alone and unprepared are detrimental.\n\nThe other link below is to the NC Child Support Guidelines.  You can read through those and see what the law is and how it handles different things with regard to child support.\n\nGood luck.

NO!  If they are over 17 you cannot claim the Child Tax Credit.

I would personally steer clear of support kids unless it is a last ditch effort.  (They will take a very large percent of anything they collect and your local office will do it for free).  Is the support order going through a child support agency?  If not, you could apply for services whether you are the payer or receiver at your county support enforcement agency.  If you already have they will be able to give you the figure you are looking for.

Ok, so is everybody on yahoo just a jerk?  Didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?\n\nSo anyway...the way to go about it is to seek a revision of the child support order.  The fact that you have another child WILL be taken into consideration. \n\nHOWEVER, since the order is 10 years old, there have been no adjustments made for cost of living, increased costs of the child he is paying support for, etc.  Child support normally gets increased over the years for cost of living and based on the expectation that the older the child, the more expensive they are.\n\nSo, unless he is making SIGNIFICANTLY less money, or unless the child's mother is making SIGNIFICANTLY more than your husband, you are probably better off leaving things as they are.\n\nLook into things for your state.  My state has a "child support calculator" on the internet. You can enter the figures and see what the child support would be based on the facts.  \n\nThe courts probably define "hardship" differently than you do, so be careful.  Do you have a nice house, do you have decent vehicles, do you have clothes on your backs and food to eat?  Not to mention luxuries.  You will need to show REAL hardship to draw sympathy from a court when you (or your husband) is the payor.  In my state, as long as the father has $500/month gross, all the rest can go to child support if the calculator says so. Tell me how anyone can live off $500 gross?  All the sympathies are with the child and his/her mother.  \n\nAlso, you would HAVE to get a lawyer.  You never want to go to court alone, as you are sure to get the raw deal (heard that from a judges mouth)\n\nBe careful, you may be opening Pandora's Box.

Your best bet is to talk it over with your parents and your sister to see if you can come to an agreement.  Legally, you can get a lawyer and pursue the status of an emancipated minor, but that takes money and time.  Odds are at 17 you haven't got the money, and by the time it was over you'd be 18 and free anyway.  \n\nNow, if there is actual abuse going on, get in touch with a local child abuse advocacy group or file a complaint with local law enforcement.

Check out the VA's formulary.\nIt's not the most user friendly, but hopefully, what you need.

Depends on your state...Here in Nebraska Legal Majority age is 19. Most states it is 18, but there are special circumstances in most custody agreements that support is necessary through high school. Sounds to me like your daughter needs a swift kick in the pants! It is a very difficult thing to deal with...watching your daughter self-destruct but it sounds like you have no choice. IF she was still living with her father you should be giving him money towards her support...if she is "on her own" in her own apartment, you have no obligation to pay an 18yr olds rent. \n  I would tell her she is on her own...IF she wants to come home and finish High School she can...but if she wants to be a Junkie...she is on her own. She can move into the Dope mans house, get a job, or join the army. All you can do is keep a light on and pray...but you dont have to pay...
