Do you have to pay child support if the other parent does not want it?

Usually yes, but the amount will be based on factors such as your income, the other parent's income, etc. Try citizens advice bureau (if you're based in the UK) or equivalent for specific advice. In the US custody and child support are different issues, one has no bearing on the other. If there is a child support order in place the terms should be adhered to until/unless the support order is rescinded or amended. The paying parent should never arbitrarily cease paying the required amount on the specified date. Such action can result in contempt of a court order, nonsupport of minor children charges and so forth which may result in the non compliant parent being jailed.

∙ 11y agoIf an order for child support is filed and after calculations are performed, it is determined that you owe it, provided you are the parent of the child (either through giving birth in the case of the mother, acknowledging parenthood voluntarily by signing the birth certificate or other legal affidavit or via court ordered paternity testing) or you are acting in loco parentis (the legal doctrine under which an individual assumes parental rights, duties, and obligations via court order, common law relationship with the mother or adoption).

∙ 11y agoIf the parent looking after the child is obtaining state benefits for the support of that child, then yes, you do have to pay child support.
If you think about it why should other peoples taxes support your child when you have the responsibility (and capability) to do this.
Your ex may not want anything to do with you but the responsibility of you supporting your child has nothing to to do with that. The state authorities will expect you to contribute to the support of your child and will adjust their payments to the custodial parent in proportion.
However, if both of you have the means of supporting your child (children) without recourse to any state support. PROVIDED the child is well supported, who pays is a matter for you to decide between you.
If this is the case why not put the child support you would have paid into a bank account for your child to access when they are older (say going to university).

What are the laws in Texas regarding a parent that does not want to pay child support but doesn't want visitation either?
In every state a parent is required to pay to support their child, and they cannot dodge that by saying they don't want to see the kid. I would file for custody and get it in writing that the other parent is not requesting visitation, then file for support.
Can you collect child support if your child is not living with you?
In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.

Is it state law that a parent HAS TO pay child support when the other parent tells the judge that they do not want or need it?
No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
