The issue of there being no court order of support does not relieve a parent of their financial responsibility. In such a situation the parent paying the support could cease payment once the child reaches the state's age of majority, which in NY is 18. More importantly, the parent who is voluntarily paying support needs to be certain all monies tendered for the child is documented in the form of a cancelled check, money order made out to the custodial parent or some other form that can be validated...NOT CASH! The check or whatever should state specifically that the money is for the support of the minor child. If this is not done, there is nothing to prevent the custodial parent from filing a court order claiming that no support has been rendered. Such action would cause the non-custodial parent in serious legal problems, which would be expensive to say the least. A safer and more acceptable option for all parties involved would be to obtain a court order of a specified amount of support and time.
Not certain about New York, specifically, but in most states, payment of child support only continues if the "child" in question is, unmarried or under 18, and does not attend any form of formal schooling.
No, but you'll have to take the matter to family court so that it can be legal. If a child is 19 and handicapped, that's a different story. Probably not, the kid should get a job.
Usually in a divorce case the judge decides after taking many things into account and the amount is fixed for the years and to what age he should pay her for.

Child Support Age-At what age does child support stop and what steps need to be taken to bring this about?
Yes, until age 21.
see link below
At 18, you are no longer considered a child for child support purposes unless you have not graduated high school or are disabled. If the child is 18 and out of high school, you must contact the Texas AG to stop child support.

No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.
if the child is still at the age to where child support is needed than it doesn't matter if the father is retired.
I wouldn't think so let child support no he is living with you
If you are a father, you have to pay child support if the court says so. The age of the father does not matter.
If the father of your kids moves in does he still have to pay child support?
No, that obligations is to the father of that unborn child. Also, once high school is completed your financial obligation for support ends.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
it goes directly to the child.
Yes, he does. He is still a father, he has a child, and that child needs support.
At 18, you are no longer considered a child for child support purposes unless you have not graduated high school or are disabled. If the child is 18 and out of high school, you must contact the Texas AG to stop child support.
Can someone answer this question for me?
only if its in the divorce settlement. and if the child is out of school
Yes, the child is still considered a minor, even though she has a child of her own. You will owe child support until she reaches the age of majority and has graduated from high school.
If the court has awarded child support, then the good intentions of the father are irrelevant. Legally, child support must be paid.
