Mom has been receiving the money and hasn’t given my son any of it. He has been living in North Dakota for 2 yrs, supporting himself. How can I stop the child support (close the case) and can I sue his mother to get back the money that belonged to taking care of him.

Bring an application in the court that entered the order.

The answer is "it depends." Is there a Judgment? What does the Judgment say? If there is no Court Order/Judgment, then the father should have as much of a right to the child as the mother does. You should contact an attorney as this situation is very fact dependent.

NDCC 14-09 deals with parental rights. Generally, both parents have rights unless otherwise ordered by the court. More information is needed to render any further legal advice. Good luck!

It never hurts to consult an attorney. The laws on moves out-of-state vary between states and so it is important to know where he brought his motion. You should probably call an attorney in the state he brought the motion to see what your options are.
Why do fathers have no right or avenues to have equal rights when it comes to the child? I am married with two other kids with my current wife. I would like my child support for my oldest lowered or have equal custody so I can take care of the needs of all my children. Instead of giving the mom... View More

Even with equal residential responsibility, the person who makes more money will still be required to pay the other child support.
Never married to the father. We have no court orders for custody. Would I be able to leave north Dakota with my child?

According to the plain language of the statute in ND you could leave without his consent or a court order. As a practical matter; however, it is a good idea to get his permission or a court order regardless. This is because, if you leave without his permission he may bring an action for... View More

Parties may stipulate to child support in a contract the parties drafted themselves, but as Attorney Wynne indicated, a Court must still sign off on it. Generally, a Court is likely to sign off on the stipulation if the terms are fair and are in the best interest of the child. I hope this helps!... View More
Get visits or custody back. Son now lives with his dads ex
answered on Jan 5, 2018
The answer is largely dependent on what has happened in the last eight years. Also, if he has lived in Washington for that long, it is likely that state has jurisdiction according to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. That means any legal action would likely need to be... View More

You need to call an attorney to address this question. Adequate advice for this issue cannot be provided online.

The short answer is that it probably won't affect your custody case, but a lot of other variables can come in to play. If it is truly 10 years or older, you may even be able to keep the judge from hearing about it under the North Dakota Rules of Evidence. You should still seek out an attorney... View More

In North Dakota you need the other party's consent or a Court order to move, if there is a custody/visitation Judgment giving him time with the child. This being said, I would proceed with caution and consult an attorney before doing so. There are some potential risks to taking off prior to... View More
For 6 months, the plaintiff didn’t have a lawyer. I’m the defendant. I won full child custody during the school year & every other weekend in the summer. We settled out of court. But my lawyer had to do a lot of communication between the both of us which I was charged for. Plus the... View More

You are out of luck on this one. The plaintiff is not entitled to pay you. It was your choice to hire a lawyer and hiring a lawyer was for your benefit, not the plaintiff's.

A judge may consider your preference at the judge's discretion. However, the judge is not required to agree with your preference.

You need to consult with a lawyer to specifically address your question. Unfortunately, addressing this question on the internet could be detrimental to your case.

At the age of 18, you can leave. However, you must also support yourself.
Kind of help. There was never no legal papers signed by a judge at anytime. I went to the team mtg at the village family center and they put me on a plan. Which I never signed and they still took my kids. No one will get back to me from there and the worker that started all this has a personal... View More
