The way it breaks down is for every month the child was with the custodial parent, that child had needs. those needs needed to be met and paid for by on of the parents, generally on a half and half basis. If the dues have been paid up until the point when the child moves into a non-custodial parents home, the laws become fuzzy, but still favor the custodial parent. Even if the child goes to live with the non-custodial parent while he/she still owes money for past due child support, he/she still must pay that as if it were a debt to a creditor. Even after the 18th birthday of the child, the "bill" still is a valid debt, and legal action may be taken if unpaid. I have known a man in his 70's paying past due child support on 3 of his children ages 40, 46, and 53.
Yes - the child's needs continue.
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
If the non-custodial mother was responsible for full child support before remarrying, that responsibility will continue until the court says otherwise. The court will consider the financial condition of both the non-custodial mother and of the custodial father in deciding whether to continue to require full child support.
You have the same chance you had before. Child support and custody are 2 different cases in court.
If the child is providing more than 50% of his or her own financial support, then no, child support would not continue. However, if 50% or more of his or her financial support is still coming from the custodial parent, then child support would continue like normal.
Child support arrears do not go away. The custodial parent can continue to pursue arrears until they are paid off. State Child Support Enforcement can take your tax refund if you owe child support.Child support arrears do not go away. The custodial parent can continue to pursue arrears until they are paid off.

Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
No, and no can he, so there must be a greater issue related here as to the safety of the children. As for being in arrears, in this economy that comes as no shock as men do not know there is free legal help to avoid or reduce arrears from the government. That is what I teach them.
Yes. The arrearage is owed to the [former] custodial parent, not to the now-married child.
Child Support is the key word.Usually paid monthly. So if you take custody for 30 plus days in a row, Pay Yourself
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
Yes, but it can be replaced by SSI, which likely will pay more.
