You do whatever the court order tells you to do, or you go back to court and seek to have it modified. It may not make sense to you to keep paying child support to someone who does not have custody of the child, but until you get the order modified this is exactly what you have to do (for all you know, the person you're paying the support to is turning it over to the actual custodians, and while a court may well agree with you that it would be more efficient for you to pay them directly, you can't unilaterally make that decision).

Notify your local Department of Human Services and let them know that the child isn't living with the custodial parent anymore.

Then get a lawyer.

Does child support have to be paid if the child lives with neither parent but lives in a house owned by one parent?

Someone must have custody of a minor even if they do allow them to stay in another building owned by them. The parent with the custody get the child support to use for the child's expenses until they are 18 (in some states longer). If the "child" is 18 or over you have to check your child support agreement when you were supposed to stop and then apply in court to have it stopped. Child support does not stop until the child is emancipated either by age or the courts so they can care for themselves. Up until that moment it's paid to the parent and not the child directly.

The custodial parent or legal guardian files a lawsuit for child support in the state in which the minor child resides (in this case, Georgia). The non custodial parent will be served with a summons regardless of where he or she lives. Federal law mandates all U.S. states honor and enforce child support lawsuits and/or orders of support.
