Generally, a parent doesn't have the right to waive the CHILD'S money. I would think that a step parent adoption and TPR would be the way to go... I guess I find it weird that this is an actual conversation... getting rid of the child support to buy a house?? I have officially heard it all.

Wonder if the courts have EVER heard a case such as this. Doubt it. I would suspect something further is happening here, like the wife of the bio dad is hearing what she wants to hear.

Any thought to simply killing the kid for the insurance money?

Well then I guess you would go back to court (where ever the original order of support was done) and seek a downward modification. See if the judge will go for it.

Of all the years of me working in the courts...I have NEVER heard of a judge actually granting it. I've heard some strange requests....this by far is the strangest I think...I'll print out the post and take it to work tomorrow just to see.

I'm trying really hard to contain myself.... but I'll be watching the news very carefully for the next little while.

You are completely sick in the head and need serious help. She has already dropped child support on one of her other children. I knew I shouldn't have attempted to get answers here.

It is unimaginable that the father would give an ounce of consideration to this scheme. It is beyond belief that a loan officer would suggest, much less stipulate these terms.

If "she" has already dropped child support on "one of her other children", what's the problem? Previous experience should have paved the highway to home ownership for you, the step parent and the "father".

Has she and the child ever been on state assistance? That could be a reason why the child support cannot be dropped.

The reason may be that Tennessee's child support guidelines are mandatory, and this would be a significant departure from the mandate. ("Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 654(6)(A) and 45 C.F.R § 302.56(f), these Child Support Guidelines apply whether the order sought to be established, modified or enforced is for a period preceding October 13, 1989, which was the effective date of the mandatory Child Support Guidelines initially established by federal and state law, or subsequent to such date.")
