The payments will be effected if he files a motion to modify based on his additional children. The visitation will not be effected by his lack of payments; however, he may loose rights through abandonment if he continues to lack contact.

You will find it a arduous task to attempt this process without an attorney. Even attorneys will wrestle with this particular process.

You’ve a lot going on. You should have hired a lawyer at 1st. Now, you’re going to have to probably be stuck with following the order in place.

If anyone were to face criminal charges (or contempt) in this situation it would most likely be your mom. If you come back to the States before your 18th birthday any adult you stay with could be charged with Harboring a Runaway Child.

She may have standing to assert the position you’re requesting. Maybe, all will just agree that it is your best interest so you can move on with your life. An agreed order could be drafted. Good luck.

File a motion to enforce.

It depends on your current court order. Usually, most orders contain a geographical restriction which orders that the custodial parent cannot move the child away.

You should immediately call me or consult with an attorney of your choosing. You have options. I am well versed on this issue.... View More

ICE doesn't always get involved in civil cases; however, sometimes they do. My best advice to you is to get a lawyer to help you with this and to try and work together with the children's mother as you definitely want to be supporting your children.

Apply for services at the Office of the Attorney General.

No you can't force someone to have a job. It sounds like you may be mad that she is living off of your child support. Remember your support goes for things like your child's roof over their head, food, clothing, transportation, etc. It isn't meant to be an allowance that gets passed to them.

It depends. If the parent is married to the other parent then they are presumed to be the father of the child.

Call a lawyer and bond company for assistance. He still has a child support obligation for the child regardless if the mother of the child is deceased. Good luck.

It sounds like there may be more to the facts to warrant a request for a modification. If he has an attorney then so should you.

The children's parent still has a responsibilty to support them. Remember they are not supporting you, they are supporting the children.

Any prior arrears incurred prior to the adoption are still your responsibility. Good luck.

The State of Texas will seek to recover the costs it pays out through medicaid from the other parent if possible.

I understand.

You really need to just talk to a lawyer for an hour, let me/him/her read your prior order, answer your questions and make recommendations.

Multiple children guidelines chart.

For example, one child would normally be 20% of your net, but now it would be 17.5% for the one.

However, the same would apply to the other child of the other mother of you second child. So you end up paying 35% for two rather than 25% for two if... View More

Any time there is a "substantial" change in circumstances child support can be changed. A move and change in jobs, etc. would qualify.

You can ask the court to extend it if they are disabled and meet the criteria specified in the Family Code. You will need the medical evidence to support it. You will need an attorney.
