If a child is 18 and moves out from his custodial parents house but is still in high school does the non custodial parent still have to pay child support?

Yes. A different view: If the custodial moves out of state and abandons a minor, then the custodial parent should be charged with endangering a minor, child abuse and neglect. Then the non-custodial parent should be given full custody of the minor child, and should then sue the parent who abandoned child for child support. There is never any reason or excuse for a parent to abandon a minor child, and leave them to "fend for himself". That is child abuse, child endangerment and neglect.

If a 21 year old full time student lives on their own is the custodial parent entitled to child support?
If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living
Do I have to buy school supplies if i pay child support?
Child support is for food, housing, shelter and anything else the custodial parent decides is necessary to support the child. The courts frown upon non-custodial parents not contributing to extra-curricular activities, school supplies and medical co-pays.

In Texas can you file child support on yourself?
No. If you are under 18 and not graduated from high school, you should live with either of your parents. If you attempt to file child support for yourself, the court can make you live with the parent that you request child support from, if you are not already living with your custodial parent.

Do you have to pay child support for a person who is 21?
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.
What are the rights of a non custodial parent when it comes to school issues?
Generally, the non-custodial parent should be informed of teacher conferences, parents' night and other school functions. They should be able to attend school functions as long as they maintain a congenial relationship with the custodial parent. The non-custodial parent does not have the right to take the child out of school, visit the child while at school, attend teacher conferences, choose the school, obtain the child's records or contact the school unless they have that right by a court order.Generally, the non-custodial parent should be informed of teacher conferences, parents' night and other school functions.

If your 18-year-old son dropped out of school and moved out of the custodial parent's house a year ago is it legal for the custodial parent to re-enroll him in school so the support will continue?
Yes, if the non custodial parent wanted to file suit to have the support order amended or rescinded it should have been done when the child dropped out of school and/or moved from the custodial parent's residence. A child support order is valid until the child reaches the age of majority for the state where the order was issued or the age stated in the support order or unless the order is changed or ceased by order of the court.

You file for custody as the child should be living with one of them. The custodial parent can be charged with abandonment. if the child has married, get the support stopped, or have the child emancipated.
Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?
Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague. So let me see if I can break this down: Let's talk about the long shot scenario: You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen: a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support. b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support. Easy scenario: You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.
What is the difference in custodial parent and non custodial parent?
A custodial parent has legal authority over a child. The custodial parent has the right to make any decision that affects the child such as school, medical treatment, daycare, religious training, sports, etc. A non custodial parent does not have the legal authority to make any decisions, choices or sign any legal documents that affect the child although generally, a visitation schedule can be ordered by the court and the custodial parent must obey that order. Joint Custody gives both parents equal authority to make decisions that affect the child and both must consent to any decisions regarding school, medical treatment, religious training, sports, etc. With joint custody one parent may be awarded physical custody and as such will be awarded child support.
Does each parent in a divorced situation need to be responsible for paying the school for half of the lunch money?
Generally speaking, if there is a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent (joint custody is different and each case is unique), then the non-custodial parent pays child support and that child support is supposed to be used (along with the custodial parent's contribution, because they're responsible for providing for the child too) to pay for everything that the child needs, including lunches.
