No.\n\nChild support isn't awarded to the child, it is awarded to the parent with custody of the child to help pay for  support of the child, hence the term "child support."

Contact the GA CSD division.  Their site is down right now, but the link is www.cse.dhr.state.ga.us/\n\nYou can also try these people...\n\nhttp://www.supportkids.com/content/public/stateinfo/statespecific/supportga.asp\n\nYES, you are still owed the money even if the child is now 21.  You need to contact the court.  For owing that much money, the father's name and picture could be on every news program and newspaper in the state, if not more.\n\nThey will help you.  I am not saying they will be able to find him right away, or that he will have the ability to pay, but you certainly need to try.

You need to file a petition with the court.  If they ordered that he has visitation rights and she is breaking that order they can haul her back.  They also can suspend her child support payments until those visitation rights are restored.  Just don't do anything without going through the court.

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.

Yes they can.  My father found out this the hard way after never paying his child support.  As a result until all of that past due support is paid up (plus interest) his SS check is being garnished.  He also has young daughter that they are hitting him for now until she gets out of school.

You can take her to court for child support.

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.

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.

actually, I believe as long as he is a full time student he would still have to continue Child Support payments until he Commissions, drops out of full time school or wwhatever the state's laws are..in our case, it's 23(NY)\n\nIf he were to enlist, or join the Reserves/Guard, I think it stops.

Courts Can Order Payment of College Expenses Even Though the Child Has Reached Majority.\nAt one time, majority was reached at age 21. When it was reduced by law to age 18, a new problem was presented: Could the court order a parent to pay for his or her children's college expenses as child support, despite the fact that they would be over 18 when the payments were made? In most states, that question has been answered in the affirmative - if the parent has sufficient resources - although the courts are not required to make such orders.\n\nwas there an agreement to provide support for college filed with the courts? if you are not financially able to pay the college expenses , no they cannot make you. They do not court order married custodial parents to pay college if they are where they are able to or not. I do not think they can force you to, or kids all over would be suing parents for financial payment for college.

First off yes you can only if she has not claimed him on her taxes because the child can only be claimed once on a tax form because they go by their social security number, Next if she has not claimed the child then you have to have supported the child 51% of his clothing, schooling, eats, housing and care in general. If this is the case then yes you should be able to claim the both of them only if she is not filing and claiming the child herself. Also the child tax credit is only 800.00 this year instead of 1,000.00 like in 2005. Well I hope that this info has helped you and if you need more info her is the web site to the internal revenue service.\nwww.irs.gov

At 18 your parents can claim you as a dependent.  The fact you made so little would make you and your child dependent on your mother so I believe that would work.  The daughter is a bit stretching but I think can work, even if she gets audited, they will realize she is paying for all your stuff.

You can ask the court to "release his parental rights".  Then you can have the childs name changed.  But, this also takes away your right to fight for back child support.

No. Legally, you are responsible for him/her. Your only real course of actions would be to try and get relief of custody from the state.

By law the child goes to foster care. After the dust settles a relative can file for custody.

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.
