Child Support - When Does Child Support End?
In general, child support obligations will terminate once the child
reach the age of majority, unless the child is in college (in which case the parent is still obligated), or if the child has been declared emancipated by a court. Child support obligations will also terminate if a parent's rights and responsibilities are terminated, because, for instance, the child is adopted by someone else. http://qs138.com/family-law/child-su...upport-end.htm |

I know that I've seen techrmama say that her DH's rights were terminated prior to even being aware of his daughter and that he's still been ordered to pay support. I realize that the logic of the State is often illogical, but this just really doesn't wash ... how does this happen? It's an honest question, and I'm not looking to argue ... so please hold the flames. Thanks! |

Actually, parents can still be financially responsible after their rights are terminated. Can you provide more information regarding this? Most people think of rights-and-responsibilities as one bundle that can not be separated. Courts view rights as separate from responsibilities. So, as a NCP I lose most parental "rights" .... *sarcasm on* to balance it out, my responsibilities are disproportionally increased. *sarcasm off* Don |

His rights were terminated because he was not in the child's life--I don't know what the logic behind termination the rights of a man who did not even know he was a father was. So if he had wanted to fight for custody, he would have had to first re-establish his parental rights, then establish a relationship with the child, then apply for custody. But the time he could have taken all of those steps, she would have no longer been a minor, so we did not do so. Besides which, there was no money to travel to where she lives for the necessary court appearances--and no money to bring her to us for visitation. Child support pretty much put us in a position of living month-to-month. We haven't even had a real vacation since CS was established, except to use the very limited savings we did have to go meet her the summer after support was established. |

It's pushed us into abject poverty too! Was just thinking about this tonight as we had to pass on purchasing a nice bottle of wine in favor of buying good wheat bread and coffee. There are no plans for vacations or even dining out anywhere. This is not a quality of life, it's just existing day to day in an empty vacuum! |

What I find disgusting about it is that the advocates for the lifestyle of the children have such a narrow view. Nobody else counts--just the specific children considered by the CS order. No other human beinf breathing air makes any difference compared the need for a lifestyle for that child. Witness those advocating sports and school pictures above your need to live in a decent place and have the smaill pleasure of a bottle of wine occasionally. We don;t get a vacation because perhaps the mother of the child-of-the-order will want a vacation. The NCP pays for health insurance, even though it will never, ever be used by the child because she has better coverage with the policy we, the taxpayer, provide for her. An extremely narrow viewpoint. And we wonder why so many of the children who are coming up to be adults today are so self-centered. |

His rights were terminated because he was not in the child's life--I don't know what the logic behind termination the rights of a man who did not even know he was a father was. Exactly ... none of it seems logical. If he didn't know how could he provide support (either by maintaining the relationship or financial support)? This is one area in which we agree ... these women who conceal the child and then go for arrearages when they've *orchestrated* the situation ought to either lose custody straight-away for not encouraging and supporting the child's right to their other parent or be disallowed from collecting back support. So if he had wanted to fight for custody, he would have had to first re-establish his parental rights, then establish a relationship with the child, then apply for custody. But the time he could have taken all of those steps, she would have no longer been a minor, so we did not do so. Besides which, there was no money to travel to where she lives for the necessary court appearances--and no money to bring her to us for visitation. Shouldn't, logically, some of the CS go toward travel expenses for visitation? Child support pretty much put us in a position of living month-to-month. We haven't even had a real vacation since CS was established, except to use the very limited savings we did have to go meet her the summer after support was established. I'm sorry that the system has had such a detrimental effect on your lives! I know that doesn't help ... but I hope you know that I honestly feel for you. |
