I believe it's law everywhere that you have to pay until they are 18 regardless if the child is in school or not.
The court order for child support stipulates the manner and length of time in which support is mandated.
Issues concerning the legitimacy of payment should always be discussed with legal counsel, preferably the attorney who handled the original case.
The parent under the order should NEVER arbitrarily cease or change the payment arrangement.
In the State of Michigan, if the child is no longer in school, i.e. quits before they turn 18, you are no longer obligated to pay child support.
yes. your obligated to pay support until your financial obligation is met in full regardless of how old the child is. I know people with children in their mid-20s still paying the other parent child support that is in arrears
Most child support documents require you to pay until 18, or finish school. Check with your child support office or your attorney.
Typically, yes. Most states order child support to continue through high school. Check your order to see what it says.
no you can not stop paying you stop paying when the child turns 18.
Contact your State's child support agency. They can take various actions to establish/collect support. Be patient but persistent. Good luck!
Arrears and current support, also, unless/until the child is adopted.
The State of Texas child enforcement agency would have it. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to get to the mother. The state would still have it if they haven't given it to the mother.
It depends on your state. Normally child support ends upon the age of majority in your state or emancipation. Unless a child is considered emancipated through giving birth, you will probably have to continue paying support. However, there are a few states that end child support at that time. Check your local state laws.
Yes. The child's needs continue, and VA taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for those needs.
Only with a modified order. Texas law does not provide for it. See link.
Depends on the state.

The State child support agency does this.
As long as there is no back-support owed (Child support that is owed from previous months not paid) then 18 is the cut off limit for child support and you would no longer be obligated to pay. HOWEVER, in the state of Texas, if the child continues into college, the legal guardian of the child can bring you to court to continue the support until the child graduates from college.
It does in Texas. Specify your state to get a more concrete answer.
No unless the child is under 18 or it has been previously agreed upon in a decree. Texas does not have child support for adults in college.
The child doesn't receive child support. The custodial parent does. The state of MS normally orders child support through the age of 21, if the child is still in school. However, there are situations that would be cause for termination of support. For exampe, if the child "cohabits with another person without the approval of the parent obligated to pay support". You can find the laws regarding this under MS Code 93-11-65(8a).
Yes (but not SSI).
yup
