Change visitation
The situation regarding child support MUST be revisited if the circumstances of the custodial parent change.
It depends on the state you live in. Some states allow the custodial parent to opt out of child support. Other states don't give you that option, and will collect the child support even if the custodial parent refuses to accept it.
No. That money is owed to the child's custodial parent.No. That money is owed to the child's custodial parent.No. That money is owed to the child's custodial parent.No. That money is owed to the child's custodial parent.
Generally not, however the non-custodial parent may file for modification of the support order based on changes in financial circumstances.
A parent must obey the child support order. A custodial parent may be serving in the military with the child under temporary guardianship. That is no reason to stop paying child support. If the child isn't living with the custodial parent who is receiving child support the matter must be brought before the court.
yes, with the court's approval
NO! Call they child support agency and find out why he stopped it and actually I don't think he can. Unless you have joint custody and placement he has to pay that is every states law. But do not use him not paying child support to withold your child you can be held in contempt of court. Those are two separate issues. That is right, He cannot just stop paying. and I agree, do not use money to withold your child from seeing him. It will only hurt your child and then come back on you.
No, they are separate issues. If the custodial parent stops visitations they would be in violation of a court order. The custodial parent must address the child support arrears as a separate matter by filing a contempt order with the court.
No - the new spouse isn't responsible for other men's children.
Yes, it does not matter where the child lives, you still have to pay it. The child does not stop being yours just because he/she lives in another state.
The parents can agree to waive the unpaid support - the court must approve this after finding it to be in the child's best interest.
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.
