What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? All states
I have a couple questions about child support laws in all states (interested in hearing about differences between the states):
1) an unwed woman gets pregnant in a one nighter. She wants be free and travel and doesnt want to raise a child so she decides to give the baby up for adoption. However, the biological father wants to keep and raise the baby.
question: Can the father prevent the adoption and win custody and get child support from the mother? (in a reverse of what women do to men?)
2) Let's assume a different scenario where the mother and father agree to joint custody since they are split up but live only a mile apart. However the father earns much more, like 200k a year whereas the mother only earns 40k.
question: how many states allow the parents to agree to no child support or a trivial amount, instead of mandating a court ordered financial obligation based on income, that neither party asked for? I was told West VA allows that, for example
I'm in TN by the way, which doesnt seem to allow either of these
