You should be very careful what information you give out. You might need a written contract to protect yourself. They could try to go after you for back child support. A Tennessee man was ordered to pay $160,000 in back child support in a case like yours. That case was upheld on appeal.
Parental agreement doesn't cover drivers license or car insurance. No child support but we are suppose to pay 50/50 of medical, school and extra-curricular activities.

No, you are not obligated because no child NEEDS a car. However, typically in these situations, the child holds it against the parent that will not help them pay for the car. Sometimes it helps to help them get a car, say you will help them pay for it if they can't but make sure they are... View More

A lawyer in your county who knows your judges knows what is likely in your county. It is possible.
If you saw one lawyer there, talk to another.

You know what the rules are. He is a minor who is able bodied. Give the child support checks back to the business.

No, ith very few exceptions. If you wanted it, you should have sued earlier.
police and he has been scared to be involved ever since. Can mother 13 years later after denying any contact take father for child support?
answered on Jul 6, 2020
That scenario is unlikely. If she knew where he was all of this time and wanted it, she should have filed.
Will the state enforce the arrears as well? How will this be calculated as far as making payment?
answered on Jul 2, 2020
You need to go to the public aid office, child support enforcement division. They should help you with child support collections.
I am the non-custodial parent who is paying child support, and I want to know why the custodial parent is charging my 18 year old daughter rent while receiving child support payments from me?
answered on Jun 25, 2020
That is not appropriate. Your child support should terminate or the rent charge should stop.
This was a few months ago and I lived in my own place. I have no history of abuse or records. Will this affect my mothers ability to get custody of my brother?

It does not matter what you chose to do when you were an adult on your own.
I live in Illinois. My stepdaughter wants to move in with us for her senior year of high school when she turns 18yrs in August. We want to change so the support goes to the child instead of the parent she will no longer be living with.

If your order has an expiration date, you meed to make sure it ends at the end of may, 2021. If it has an earlier date, you need to get a court order to extend the termination date to that time. Otherwise, you file a motion to redirect child support.
Like her putting the money on her boyfriends jail books is that against the law and what can i do about it

Custodial parents are responsible for providing the child with adequate food, clothing and shelter. Where the money comes from, whether it be child support, unemployment insurance, the state, etc. Is irrelevant.

The answer is to go back to the court orders:
$50/wk from x to x
$25/wk from x to x
Make a list. Go to the perpetual calendar if dealing with weeks. Compare the required payments to the payments made. If arrearages are already calculated at one time, go back to that order... View More

Parties can agree to modify parenting time without a court order. Parties cannot modify child support orders without a judge signing an order. If the goal is to modify parenting time, the parties can agree and they should put any agreement in writing.

Yes she can petition the court for child support arrearages. The child support order should been modified years ago due to the change in the custodial parent. As it was never modified, the child support plus interest is owed. The payor has to provide proof of the payments. So if the former spouse... View More
