You do not rent your child. Time and child support should be determined by the court, if he does not have a custody order as of yet, you should seek one immediately. Talk to a local attorney about seeking a paternity action.

answered on Feb 1, 2018
The support is supposed to go to the care of the child, if you are her legal guardian, then you are eligible to receive support on her behalf. Talk to a family attorney local to you about seeking a modification as a intervenor on the current child support order.

He can't add your children to his form 14, but he can submit an affidavit or expense statement detailing how much he spends on support of you and your family.

Only a legal father has an obligation to pay child support. Under the laws of Missouri, since the child was born prior to the marriage and you are not on the birth certificate (and I assume you have not been found to be the biological father of this child), you are not the presumed father or the...

Child support is ordered for the child, not the... View More

From what you have said, it sounds like the attorney for the father has stopped the administrative child support proceedings in order to take care of support and custody at the same time through the court system. You should talk with an attorney about the details of your case to ensure the best... View More

The sooner you file, the sooner you can get child support stopped. Contact a local attorney right away or at the very least file something soon by using the self represent paperwork on the Missouri Courts website.
My mother was drunk when she got pregnant with me. My mom had been sleeping with a few guys at the time. We have had a paternity test on all of them except one. This one happens to be my Aunt Heather's (my mom's sister) ex husband, and my cousins father. We look almost Identical
answered on Dec 6, 2017
Unless you're emancipated by a court, only your mother or legal guardian can file a petition to determine paternity on your behalf. Ultimately, an attorney will probably not work with you directly because you're not old enough to hire an attorney on your own.

Child support is based on the income of the parties. Sometimes in even splits of custody, the person who earns more will pay the other child support. You should contact an attorney who practices family law for more specifics.

There is no court ordered custody. He does pay child support and has health insurance on our 2 kids. We've never been married. He is on the birth certificate. He only sees them at best once a month. Today is his first time seeing them in almost 3 months. 3 days shy of it. He isn't very involved.

This is one of those situations where what you "can" do and what you "should" do are different. On the legal side of this question, once father finds out you have moved, he can petition the court for more definitive parenting time. As a result, you may have to drive every... View More

Family Law and Paternity cases are complicated and can have effects far into the future. I would suggest you consult with an attorney in the county you have filed your case in.
I have always paid. Our children are 16 and 14 years of age. Do I have to file a motion for adjustment or does it stop automatically.
If I have to pay, why? and where does my money go?
answered on Sep 14, 2017
The answer depends on where your kids are living. If they're living with relatives or in a foster placement, you may have to continue to pay child support and the monies will go to their caretakers or the state. If the kids are living with you, then you need to immediately file to terminate... View More
