Hillsboro, OR asked in Child Support for California

Q: If the custodial parent dies and the Non custodial gives custody to Uncle how do they configure child support?

Non custodial has no relationship with parent so when Mom was terminally ill, they decided to give custody to the uncle (bio mom's brother). How do they configure child support when there is no secondary parent income?

A: As the father of the child you are responsible for care and support of the child whether the child lives with the uncle or not. Unless your son is adopted by someone else, you remain liable for the care and support of the child.
