    How long can you collect TANF and when will I be able to sign away my rights?
    How long can you collect TANF? I know in the state of NC you can't sign away your rights until the mother stops collecting welfare. IS there a certain age until it stops? And how old does the kid have to be in order for the mother to HAVE to get a JOB. One more thing, does my payments go down when she gets a job finally?

    You will be able to sign away your rights when the mother gets married and her new husband wants to adopt the child. Not until then.

    Your payment will probably not go down when she gets a job. The payment amount is a uniform percentage based on your income.

    As far as signing away rights steve is correct on this. Its posted all over here.

    As far as the other questions concerning support and TANF. The TANF last as long as its needed. So the length of time in undetermined.

    As far as the child support goes. Yes if she gets a job there may be an opportunity for an adjustment. Check this link and it might help you.

    NC child support is NOT based on a straight percentage of the NCP. The custodial parents income is under consideration in the calculation.

    Of course I make a blanket statement to one of the few states that it doesn't apply... just my luck. :)

    Thanks for the correction.
