If a Mother loses full custody of her Children, does she still have to pay Child Support?

Jay J

Why don't you ask this as "If a spouse loses full custody of their children, then do they still have to pay Child Support", because this has nothing to do with whether or not the person is the mother or father. And the answer is "yes", because the children are still theirs and this is what men have been having to do all along.

Wow what a double standard.

Yes she still has to pay Child Support just like a dad who does not have full custody.

And frankly Britney doesn't even deserve custody of a Pet Rock.

If the court orders her to pay, she should pay.

She had 'em, why should she be different to anyone else?

CeciliaM

Yes. Visitation rights are a seperate issue from child support obligation.

desjr1967

yes, unless you give up your parental rights

baserunner316

why shouldn't women pay support the same as men????? when we lose rights and custody no one questions whether men should pay. equal rights equal bill.

Pam H

Yes, usually. It varies case to case.

Babylovey

yes

oopiedoopiegirl

Yes. My daughter had her parental rights taken away about 12 years ago and has paid monthly payments. When she missed they took her income tax check. She wasn't even allowed to see the kids most of that time

Mommy to Lauryn and Sydney

Yeppers if the judge says so!! She is still the mom...

fanofozzyosbourne

Yes, custody and child support are two seperate things.....two court dates etc.

pippi_jami

yes

Loosing custody is not the same as losing parental rights.

In the case of Britney she has lost all visitation and custody of children - but not her parental rights, so yes she will need to continue to pay child support.

As for K-fed mooching......He is raising the children that her pathetic, spoiled, nutcase self cannot raise. I don't see it as mooching! Who would ever have thought K-Fed would turn out to be the GOOD parent!

david g

yes you still have to pay no rewards for being a crappy parent

Dr. Deviance

She should... they're still your children, period. Support your kids... one day there will be no support issues... but will need to answer to them! Good Luck!

loving life!!!!!

yes it is true.....thats the way it works, it would be the same thing if the situation was flip flopped, he would have to pay her. She has traumatized those kids, they are gonna need all the help they can get!

junebug

Yes she still has to pay child support. She's lost custody... her parental right hasn't been severed yet.

sissy k

Yes...they are still her children and part her responsibility.

The reason for child support is so the custodial parent can financially suppport the children. It's supposed to work in the "best interest of the children", but usually the mother wins custody even if it's worse for the children. In this case, if the roles were reversed, I guarantee the father would have no access to the kids, would have to pay support, and might be in jail. I hope justice prevails, but courts are tremendously biased towards women.

ok, Mr. Federline is not "mooching" off of Ms. Spears - he has full care of the children - which includes all expenses - both parents must contribute to the care.

her rights were not terminated, she just can't see them right now because she is so unstable - yes, she is still obligated to pay child support...as in any parent who may not have phyiscal custody but only visitation. (Which 'brit brit" would still have if she would get the help she needs)

If someone's rights were termintated - where they were never allowed to see the child(ren) ever again - then support would be termintated as well.

all "brit brit" cares about is herself - she has put her children's lives in danger with her behavior - she needs serious psychiatric help. Thank God "K-Fed" has stepped up to the plate as a responsible parent.

Gweniveree

A Mother that has lost custody of her kids has been found to be a threat to the safety and health of her children.

She still mothered the children and should be required to help support them - Brit is a fake and is really screwing up her future and that of her children - SHAME ON HER!

llexiann30

Yes she wouldnt if she terminated her rights.

Wundt

Everything depends on the case.

If she has the means and the father asks for the support, then yes, it is very likely the courts will demand she pay. This happens all the time to fathers, there isn't any reason it shouldn't apply to mothers.

wife in South Africa

custody means...the caretaker....Yes she still has to pay maintenance....she did not "sign" away her children...they were not adopted by "new" parents

Minister of Peace

Most likely. Most non-custodial parents are made to pay child support.

Debbie

Yes! Because she didn't give up her rights they were taken

Sharon F

While each case is judged individually, and I am NOT a family attorney, I woudl still think that SOMEONE has to support the children! Non-custodial dads still have to pay the moms, right? So why would the non-custodial mom be exempt? Again, just my way to view the situation. I'm just teacher-not a lawyer.

Momto2inFL

A man may not have full custody either, but they still have to pay child support. A woman loses her kids, she still has a duty to pay child support just the same.

She also, in my opinion, has a duty to clean up her life and get her life together for the sake of those kids. Regardless of what people think, kids need their Mommy's and Daddy's. Period!

Florida Fun in the Sun

It all depends on the state, but usually whichever parent is raising the children has rights to receive support from the other parent. It does not matter if the court does not allow the non-custodial parent to see the children. They still have to pay their portion of the support.

And by the way, I don't think she would have put down the champagne glass long enough to care who is raising her children and whether she would have to pay support, she is only making it easier for him.

loved<3

yup! if the court orders her to do so.

muffdiver1967

Yes.. But only if both parents are in the U.K. C.S.A. have no duristriction on persons that are not in the U.K..
