Yes, all parents are responsible for the financial support of their children. The mother can and should petition the court at any time for a child support order. "Helping" is not considered paying child support which is a weekly obligation that the parent with physical custody can depend upon and figure into the budget. Every parent should help to raise the child. If there is a child support order the father must pay the amount ordered. He cannot deduct any amount for "help" with other things. He needs to maintain proof that he is paying his child support obligations regularly.

∙ 13y agoYes, if a previous support order is in place by the court, it will have to be changed to reflect this. The parties will also face scrutiny if either is receiving financial help from the state.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the situation. If the adults were not together when the child support was established then they have the option of dating and then the option of removing the father from child support. It is the parents decision and best interests of the child if the noncustodial parent remains on child support unless married..

∙ 11y agoChild support is a complicated calculation and varies, depending on the state where you live. If the father has primary physical custody, the calculation will generally favor him in terms of child support. Many women are ordered to pay child support based on their income, the father's income and other factors. It is unfair to expect one parent to assume complete financial responsibility for a child.
Consult an attorney with experience in family law in your county of residence for more information or look for a child support calculator for your state online to get an idea whether or not you will be paying support and to get a ball park figure for the amount you willl be expected to pay.

∙ 11y agoYes, all parents have the moral and legalobligation to support their children. However, in order to make it a legal obligation the father must petition the family court for a child support order. He also needs to establish his physical custody legally through a custody order since child support is paid to the parent with legal physical custody. He should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate or consult with a private attorney.

If the father is paying child support to the mother and the child is living with the father. does he still pay child support?
This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for this is the mother still has bills that are keeping the house and such for the child to come back too. The only way a father will not have to pay is if the court order says that during summer possession the father does not have to pay child support, but normally in this case the mother would not be obligated to pay child support to the father. However in the end, people should do what is best for the children and not worry about the dollars they receive or don't receive.
If the custodial parent two children give one of the children back to the father does the father still have to pay child support for the one child that stayed with the mother or are they even?
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!
Will you still get child support payment if the father is on welfare?
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.
Do the father still have to pay child support if the mother is mentally ill?
Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.
