No she can not drop child support. But she can go and get a prosage package. That reduces the amount of money he has to pay for child support. If you don't want him to pay child support at all then why don't he pay it and you give it back to him yourself the next time you guys see each other.
She can visit her local domestic relations office. There is a form (i can't recall the name of it) that the plaintiff completes to state she no longer wishes to receive child support from the defendent. Or depending on the situation you can request that the noncustodial parent relinquish his rights to the child.
An attorney told me that after my wife and I divorced she could write me receipts stating that I had paid her. That way the non-custodial parent is in the clear from back support if anyone should change their mind.
Yes, in Michigan a mother or father can stop child support payments that is owed to them, but not what is owed to the state. They simply would have to go to the FOC office and fill out a form or just write out on paper. The father should be aware that the referre or judge will try to convince the mother not to do so.

∙ 14y agoYes, but it may depend on your state on how. In some states, you can fill out a form to forgive the arrears with your local child support enforcement office, if they are owed to you. If there are monies owed to the state, they will still collect on those. Remember, though, that it takes an order to change an order, so to stop the child support from continuing, you may have to go back to court.

How would a custodial parent close her case with the District Attorney's office in order to receive support payments directly from the child's father?
The involved party will need to discuss the matter with the ADA in charge of the case. If child support has been under the supervision of the state and/or there are arrearages the case will not be dismissed upon the request of the custodial parent.
If the non custodial parent pays the custodial parent child support on time Can another family member take the non custodial parent back to court for child support re-evalution?
It seems unlikely that a non-custodial relative would have "standing" to request a change in child support.
What do you about support when you are the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent wants to hand over the child to you?
They can't simply "give the child to you." You need to return to the court and have the custody order modified so you'll have legal custody. It will go easier if the current custodial parent consents to the modification. At that time the current support order should be terminated and you can request child support if you wish.
Can the obligated parent discharge child support arrearages in a bankruptcy once the child reaches the age of 18?
If what you mean is can back owed child support payments be discharged in bankruptcy: NO. Regardless of how old the child is now. on the other hand if you mean to be included in the repayment schedule for a chapter 13 then yes. Child support arrearages can sometimes be included in bankruptcy. This pertains to arrearages only and not to current support due. A bankruptcy petition cannot override a court order of support and if arrearages are allowed to be included in a 13 the arrearages must be paid in full, not a percentage thereof, as is possible with unsecured creditors.
If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.

What actions can be taken on a non-custodial father who is behind on child support and he is out running the streets on drugs?
He can be subsequently jailed for drug charges and that he's an endangerment to his children due to the choice of lifestyle. Liens can be placed on property of value like his car or anything of value to get the behind child support. * Child support arrearages is a civil matter and has nothing to do with the alledged drug activities. Recovery of child support arrearages and enforcement of child support orders can be done in two ways, by the custodial parent filing a lawsuit in the state circuit court in the county of residence or by enlisting the assistance of the state's child support enforcement agency. If the father has visitation or custodial rights and he is placing the child in jeopardy by his lifestyle the custodial parent should request an investigation by the state's department of child protective services.
Do you have to pay back child support if you and your wife divorce?
If there is a support order in affect the obligated parent is responsible for keeping payments current and paying any arrearages. If the order was mandated after the divorce decree and the couple lived separately there may still be arrearages for support that the non custodial parent is responsible for paying.
If you did not request child support at the time of the order can you collect it later?
Yes, once paternity of the child has been established the custodial parent can file suit for child support at any time until the child reaches the legal age of majority and in a few exceptional cases after that time. The majority of US states do, however, have a statute of limitations relating to the amount of time the custodial parent has to file to collect support arrearages.
