Yes, support would be paid until the child graduates high school.

If the child support was ordered by the court and the parent owed it, then it is still owed.

To get visitation all he needs to do is hire an attorney to file an action in the district court. A hearing will be set and the court can order visitation based upon what the court believes is in the best interest of the child.

If there is a court order for a paternity case, yes. Aside from that it is probably a good idea anyway to make sure you don't get stuck playing for a child that may or may not be yours.

Depending on who and how support is being collected you may need to file a motion and get an order terminating the wage assignment.

Typically taxes refunds are collected from the non custodial parent that owes back support, not from the custodial parent that receives child support.

When parental rights are terminated that terminates rights, not obligations. Child support is still paid unless/until the child is adopted. If there is an adoption that stops support. If there is not an adoption support continues.

Sad to say, the law provides that you still owe child support, even if your rights have been terminated. Without the specifics, it is impossible to advise you on what your options are...give us a call and we will see if we can help.
He hasn't worked in several years, which is why he doesn't pay anything, but he told me his new wife makes good money and has military benefits from the navy.

The income of his spouse is not a factor in child support.
My divorce finalized in February 2020. We filed our 2019 taxes separately and my ex claimed our son. I will be able to claim him in 2020. We have 50/50 custody and split all expenses evenly.

I wonder what your divorce decree and child custody and support orders say as the provisions of those documents might provide some guidance as to your options. Its probably best to ask your divorce attorney. Generally speaking, I'm not sure there is much you can do that wouldn't cost... View More
She has full custody. And how would be go about getting off paying her child support?
answered on Jun 2, 2020
Hire an attorney to file a motion for modification of child custody and child support. It will be necessary anyway, once your son reaches 18 years old to make the Court and other agencies aware he has reached the age of majority.
A person has 2 college degree and is working on a 3rd. Is fully capable of working but is choosing not to in order to get more child support. Is there something that can be said in a modification hearing about the lack of trying to support herself and their child?
answered on May 17, 2020
A matter of fact, one of the criteria the judge may take into consideration is the ability of the parent to earn money and they can estimate the amount that person could make if they were to work. This tends to be in cases where it can be shown that the person is avoiding work when it is available... View More

Not really sure what you mean by a disposition hearing. If there is an agreed decree then a disposition hearing is nothing more then the Judge taking testimony that a divorce is what everyone wants. If there is any type of dispute to property, custody, or spousal support then it will be a trial.... View More
In Oklahoma, if a man and woman are married, and the wife has a child that turns out not to be the husbands, is he required by law to pay child support for the child that isn't his?
answered on May 13, 2020
If a child is born during the marriage, the husband is considered by law to be the father and will be on the hook to support the child. There is a very specific procedure and specific time limitations to solve this problem. Contact an attorney today, not tomorrow, to review your case.

Yes. Hire an attorney and they will be able to file a child support case and conduct discovery to find his income.
School is out mid-May. Graduation is late June. How should the final payment be handled?
answered on Apr 28, 2020
You will need to review your support order. Most of the time the order will state the due date as the 1st day of the month. If child graduates in June then the June 1 payment would be made as usual.
My husband did a private DNA test in 2016 and he was not the father. The child was taken into DHS custody in 2018 and my husband was given a 2nd DNA test and it showed once again he wasn’t the father. He voluntarily terminated his rights but because of the acknowledgement of paternity paper he... View More

He needs to file a petition to remove himself from the acknowledgement of paternity. We ahem done several of these lately. In some way this is straightforward, but there are some serious pitfalls if you are not careful.
She had the money direct deposited into her account and is refusing to give me my half. She does have a PO against me but I am suppose to have supervised visits and talk to my twice a day and am not getting that.
answered on Apr 19, 2020
The first question is whether you and your wife are legally separated or just don't live together? If it is a legal separation, then you have some legs to stand on, but if it is not filed then you may have some trouble. Because you used the terms supervised visitation, that gives me the...
