Q) dose one still have to pay child support if the judge sign off and the mother didnt turn in the paperwork dose the father still have to pay

A) Yes, the father still has to pay child support even if the mother didn’t turn in the paperwork. The judge’s order is still valid, and the father is legally obligated to pay child support. If the father doesn’t pay, he could be held in contempt of court and face fines or jail time.

The mother is responsible for turning in the paperwork to the child support enforcement agency. If she doesn’t, the father can contact the agency and ask them to enforce the order. The agency can then take steps to collect the child support, such as garnishing the father’s wages or intercepting his tax refunds.

If the father has questions about his child support obligation, he can contact the child support enforcement agency. The agency can provide information about the amount of child support he owes, how to pay, and what happens if he doesn’t pay.

If a judge has ordered a parent to pay child support and has signed an official court order or decree to that effect, the order remains in effect until it is modified or terminated by a court. If the mother did not turn in the paperwork or complete any necessary steps to enforce the court order, it does not relieve the father of his obligation to pay child support.

The court order for child support is a legally binding document, and the father is required to comply with its terms, regardless of any failure or inaction by the mother. If the father fails to pay child support as ordered, he may face legal consequences, such as wage garnishment, bank account seizure, or even criminal charges in some cases.

If you have concerns or questions about your child support obligations or any related legal issues, it is important to seek advice from a qualified family law attorney who can provide you with guidance and representation.
