The statute of limitations for a private party to establish paternity is 4 years. Thus, if the child is over 4 years old and paternity has not been... View More

If it is a child support action brought by the State, the Court would likely go forward with entering a child support order against the non-custodial parent even if one or both parties don't show up at the hearing.

Yes. Ex parte motion must meet the emergency level but it only has to be signed by the Court- not necessarily on file or public record. They only have 5 days to file a Petition following that Order and a temporary custody hearing must be held in a timely manner. If children have been removed, most... View More

The burden is technically on the parent whose rights were terminated to file the motion to terminate child support. That being said, if the State received the money due to a child support assignment due to some type of public assistance, you may have a right to have it reimbursed. If the... View More

Did Child Support Services assist you with establishing the child support order? If so, they will likely assist you with terminating the order. However, if you are receiving public assistance, he will likely need to show that the father has moved back into the public assistance household or they... View More

Your question is too specific for a general posting board like this. What language makes sense in a case depends on the overall facts of the case. You would have to consult with your attorney directly.

Once the child is an adult, the custody order regarding exemptions and the child care tax credit generally no longer governs. You would likely need to talk to your tax professional to see what you would need to do to qualify to claim another adult as a dependent.
I moved out of my apartment on 5/31 (the end of the lease) and now they are sending me a bill for $2,700 because apparently I was required to give 60 day notice to move out. Is there anything a I can do to dispute this?
