You need to review your court orders and the laws in your state. The custodial parent also supports the child. In some states the custodial parent has the legal right to claim the child. Massachusetts is one such state.

Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
I think u still have to pay since it is still your child
The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
No, you can't stop paying the arrearage. You can file a motion to terminate current/future payments since the child is now married, but you will still owe the arrearage.
No it doesn't
A person can try to talk to another about paying child support. However, until the person is in the United States, nothing can be done.

No, and he's not paying child support. He's giving gifts, since there's no order.AnswerChild support and visitation are two different and separate issues. Both should be governed by court order if the parents cannot come to an agreement that is kind and considerate of the needs of the CHILDREN. Paying child support through the courts is the best since the parent who pays gets credited with the amount paid. This may not happen otherwise.
A child support order must be modified or terminated by the court that issued it. If the parties are unmarried the mother may wish to maintain the support order in effect (wisely) since the relationship appears to be unstable.
If you aren't married and the mother has obtained a child support order then you must continue to pay until that order has been modified. However, it would be very unwise for the mother to allow the order to be modified since unmarried relationships are unstable and fleeting and it is difficult to obtain a child support order. She should be especially wary since you want to stop paying child support and charge your children rent to live with you. That's not a good sign.If you aren't married and the mother has obtained a child support order then you must continue to pay until that order has been modified.

You'd need to speak to an attorney in your state. If the financial situation has substantially changed since the support order was issued, you can go back to court and petition to have it modified.
In most cases child support stops once the child is 18 years of age or older. It also depends on the agreement you have with the court system. I suggest you find out the details of your agreement and ask a lawyer what your options are about child support since the child is a legal adult now. Just wanted to add that if you are paying in arrears then you will have to pay the support until ALL the back child support is paid off. Just because the child in question is of age, doesnt mean that you don't have to pay, I would recommend going back to your original support ORDER if you know where it is.
