Can you collect child support from a dad who wasnt there after 18?
Answers:
Don't bother.
Grow up and get over it. I'm sorry he wasn't part of your life, but the fight to get him to pay past child support is something you don't want to do. Even if you win, you do realize that he won't pay...right?
no
Yep, It is still owed, if he did not pay it.
Yes you can...especially if the child directly sues the father.
In most states, child support has to be paid if you live at home or are in school...if you become emancipated, join the military, or are living away from home and are working and able to support yourself, then it can be stopped.
I am having a hard time with your question but I will say that you can get child support after 18 from an ex husband if the child is in college and has to pay until they graduate from college.
What? The support is until the child is 18. You can only collect if the dad was behind in support payments when the child was under the age of 18.
If there were child support payments scheduled when the child was younger, he would owe back child support and you can go after him. Talk to an attorney about it. Most of them give free consultations.
Depends on your state laws. But most of the time they will tell you no because your grown now. If you had did it before you turned 18 they would let you collect it.
If he was taken to court to pay child support in the past, then he still owe you support, but if he was not taken to court to pay, then the system do not have his information and ssi number because mom never took him to family court. Once you are 18 years old, then dad do not have to pay child support unless you are still in school or college. So if you are still in school, then you can take him for child support, well your mom have to take him to family court.
Elsa, if you are really considering this you need to be talking to a lawyer. The answer could be "Yes" under certain circumstances and according to your state laws. Only a lawyer in your state could give you an accurate answer. Most lawyers offer a free 1st consultation so look into that and good luck.
Yes, in New York,child support runs to age 21, not 18.
