My friend pays child support, but the mom just got married. How does he sign over paternal rights?

Wow!\n\nWhat makes you so sure that he wants to sign away his child? Why don't you stay out of it!\n\nDo you really believe there is a such thing as a "rich military guy" get real!\n\nIs your spell check broken? It sure looks like it is!

First let me say that I have it on both ends.  I collect child support, and I help my husband with the child support he has to pay.  Now in answer to your question, CHILD SUPPORT is just that.  You are paying that money to support that child.  The courts set an amount that is what should be paid.  Anything you give over that amount is considered a gift.  You are not obligated in any way to give more than that amount.  I do not ask my childrens father for another dime outside of what he is court ordered to provide.  The bottome line is this,  if you continue to cater to the person receiving the child support and give them more than what is ordered, they will think they are owed that and will continue to ask for more than the obligated amount.  My husband, as I stated, pays child support and his ex wife is always TRYING to be in his pockets.  She says the kids need this, she cant afford that.  Well he is paying his support and she is to use that money to provide for the kids needs, not hers.  So if she is blowing the CHILD SUPPORT money on herself then she is at fault.  Now if he wants to give the kids some extra money just because he wants to then that is fine.  But I will be damned if he give her money just because she says the kids need because he has already fulfilled that matter.

He is still their father.  Payment of child support is not a condition of visitation.  The odds are good that he won't do anything, but he could drag your g/f into family cort and ahve her compelled to bring them over.  If she refuses she could be held in contempt until complies.  She is looking at fines and possible jail time.  Rather than just stopping she should speak to him and ask if he has any objections.

Yes he has the same Parental rights as the mother..... As long as he acknowledged the child as his and by signing the birth certificate and paying support you have proven your rights....

Yes, fight for your rights, and don't give him any sex (charge him, just kidding, had to say that in the moment), the most important thing of course is the welfare of the children, and remember, documentation, documentation, I hope you have paperwork on everything that has happend in your life, and witnesses, he has to pay child support no matter what, he is their father and has to support them (like it or not/wage garnishment).  And don't question yourself if you need financial help, you do and you deserve it.  Good Luck and I hope things work out for you and your children.

i'm not sure about other states but in VA the grandparents have to.  My mom works for child support enforcement and she said if they both signed over 'legal' gaurdianship then everything should be ok.  But they have to get child support from both parents not just from the dad or mom.

I am assuming you are asking how do you handle paying child support when you have a child that does not live with you and two that do?  Or maybe none of them do?\n\nAnyway, when the court orders child support, if you have other children at that time, they are included in the child support calculation.  (biological or adopted children only, step-children so not count)  If you have the children after the child support has been ordered, you can ask for the court to re-visit the order and try to get a decrease, but it may not be advisable, depending on your situation.\n\nIf you have more than one child support order for children that do not live with you, there is an order of priority established if necessary.  The first order files receives priority over any additional orders.  But again, the difference in the two amounts would be a nominal precentage.\n\nThis may differ by state, but that is how it works in my state...

No, she will still get child support.   I just got married and have two step-sons now.   The father is still required to pay his child support.

Some states recognize the man on the birth certificate as the father, regardless of whether he actually fathered the child.  You need to check the laws within your state.  You can do a yahoo search and get much information regarding the matter.  Many states force the man on the birth certificate to pay child support as well.  Even if he is not the natural father.  The reasoning behind this is that the signature is an acknowledgment and willingness to assume responsibility.

You just need to have a county sherriff serve her.  You should be able to contact the court, and ask the judge to issue a court order mandating that she sign the papers.

Unfortunately, child support can be ordered if your husband is the biological father. Every child has the right to financial support of both parents.\nTerminating parental rights is much harder, as the child's interests are in need.\nIf the child is deemed by the courts to need the financial obligation of child support, (even though they will never address the emotional, or physical, or other support that could be given by a natural father) then termination of parental rights will be dismissed.\nThe courts look only at the factors pertaining to the child's interests. Not the parents.

Most states won't let you terminate parental rights unless the other person is remarried and their new spouse wants to adopt the child.Children can not be left "fatherless",at least this is what my lawyer told me.Even if his rights were terminated,he is still responsible for child support unless someone else adopts the child.

Just pay your child support. You helped create them, now take responsibility for them.

First off if he has supported the child for 51 % of the time,  (ex. clothing, utilities, daycare, insurance, medical, dental etc.) then yes he can claim the child but only if he has supported the child for 51% also if you claim him first before he gets to file then when he goes to claim the child there will be a flag that the child has already been claimed and cannot be claimed again. And yes you can claim the child afterwards if you do report him but never let anyone else get that childs ss#. Also if this is a child between the two of you then if he gets a paternity test and establishes paternity to the child then you may have to split the filing of the child from year to year like ane year he does then you the next or maybe he will let you claim him and nothing be said but that is something that the two of you should work out. One last thing before I go I would look into this further and contact an tax and accounting agent to find out more and also contact a lawyer if you don't want to be with this man and get things rolling in your favor before this boy-friend beats you to the punch, and before you get to talk to anyone about what is going on. If he also establishes paternity then you can also get him for child support. Good luck hun and I sure hope that things go wonderful for you and that precious baby boy of yours.

Ask both the parents to sign the child over to you.  Then, there will be nothing further that the state can do to take the child away or change the situation.  If the mother is in jail and the father can't support the child, I can't imagine that they wouldn't let the child be with you.

I have shared custody with my exhusband with our sons.  I can tell you right now that as long as he pays child support and its in their court papers she will have to let him visit with his kids.  She cannot deny his rights no matter how much she wants to.  There is a thing he needs to know about called father's rights.  There is an organization for the rights of fathers.  With my situation my exhusband shares custody and we have always talked about it with our kids because they are involved with this too.  There is something he can do too because i could not keep my exhusband from seeing his sons.  Of course now he chooses not to see his sons because of his retarded alcoholic girlfriend.  Sometimes if you step back and let things happen the way they do it works out better than what you think.  The more he argues with her the worse off she will become.  My advice do like i did let the courts handle it dont fight the decision and let things take its course.  Also keep in mind that since he is still married and he is living with you that can count against him.  I hate to say that but its true.  She can hold that against him in court.  I know about all of this my exhusband was not allowed to live with his girlfriend until after our divorce.  In the divorce is where all things should be stipulated and rules set forth.  If he pays childsupport she will have to let him visit with his sons no matter what.  Don't let it stress you to the point it gets out of hand she is using the kids as stomping ground for him.  She is mad because he has decided to move on without her see what i mean?  After awhile things will work itself out.  I promise on that one.

Ok, so is everybody on yahoo just a jerk?  Didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?\n\nSo anyway...the way to go about it is to seek a revision of the child support order.  The fact that you have another child WILL be taken into consideration. \n\nHOWEVER, since the order is 10 years old, there have been no adjustments made for cost of living, increased costs of the child he is paying support for, etc.  Child support normally gets increased over the years for cost of living and based on the expectation that the older the child, the more expensive they are.\n\nSo, unless he is making SIGNIFICANTLY less money, or unless the child's mother is making SIGNIFICANTLY more than your husband, you are probably better off leaving things as they are.\n\nLook into things for your state.  My state has a "child support calculator" on the internet. You can enter the figures and see what the child support would be based on the facts.  \n\nThe courts probably define "hardship" differently than you do, so be careful.  Do you have a nice house, do you have decent vehicles, do you have clothes on your backs and food to eat?  Not to mention luxuries.  You will need to show REAL hardship to draw sympathy from a court when you (or your husband) is the payor.  In my state, as long as the father has $500/month gross, all the rest can go to child support if the calculator says so. Tell me how anyone can live off $500 gross?  All the sympathies are with the child and his/her mother.  \n\nAlso, you would HAVE to get a lawyer.  You never want to go to court alone, as you are sure to get the raw deal (heard that from a judges mouth)\n\nBe careful, you may be opening Pandora's Box.
