Erase In Legal North Dakota Child Support Forms For Free

Yes, you can waive child support in North Dakota. However, a few requirements must be met to get a waiver. First, the parent seeking the waiver must show that they cannot pay child support. This could be because they are unemployed, have a low income, or have other financial obligations.

Unless otherwise specified by court order, a monthly child support obligation included in an order issued by a North Dakota court will terminate if the obligor under the order is awarded primary residential responsibility of the child or children on whose behalf the obligation is owed.

There are no hard-and-fast rules as to the age at which a child is considered mature enough to testify as to a preference regarding residential responsibility. A court might find a ten year old in one case mature enough to express a preference, but find otherwise regarding a thirteen year old in another case.

A termination of parental rights does not terminate the duty of either parent to support the child before the child's adoption unless that duty is specially terminated by order of the court after notice of a proposed termination or relinquishment is given to the department of health and human services in the manner ...

In North Dakota, most support obligations end when the youngest child turns 18 or the last day of the month the child graduates from high school, whichever happens later. Most North Dakota court orders will not continue past the age of 19, even if a 19 year old child is in high school.

North Dakota courts have made clear that child support is a duty that a parent owes to their children, not to the other parent. For this reason, you and the other parent cannot agree that you will not pay child support, even if you give the other parent something of value in exchange for this agreement.
