Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the conditions of a valid waiver?
- Free will without coercion or pressure, official documentation in writing and signed before a notary or court with witnesses, clarity of content (maintenance type, amount, duration), and lawful reasons without harm to a third party.
- Why can't child support be waived?
- Because it is the children's right, not the mother's. Even if the mother agrees to waive, the children remain able to claim their right. Agreements voiding child support are legally void.
- How can a waiver be retracted?
- By proving coercion (witnesses to pressure, documents, reports), proving fraud (evidence of deception), substantial change in circumstances, or if the waiver was verbal only without official documentation.
