Probably not, some US states do allow child support arrearages to be paid after the order is granted but it is contingent on the specifics of each case. The court will want a complete explanation of why a support order was not pursued at the birth of the child or shortly there after, rather then years later. If the reason is something such as the father could not be located arrearages might be granted.

If the noncustodial parent takes the child on a two week trip is he not obligated to pay child support for those weeks?

He is still obligated to pay child support. First, that is the judgment of the court and he needs to honor that, or be in default. Secondly, some expenses, such as rent, utilities, insurance and so on are paid in advance and are continuous. His child support contributes to those expenses of providing a home before and after the trip.


In Pennsylvania does a father have to continue paying child support for an 18-year-old who is pregnant?

The legal age of majority for the state is 18. However, the terms stipulated in the child support order determines when the obligated parent can cease payment. The pregnancy would not be a factor in whether or not the noncustodial parent is still financially obligated. If the terms of the order are unclear, it would be advisable for the obligated parent to obtain legal advice before taking any action.

If you are a non-custodial parent and you sign temporary custody papers do you still have to pay child support?

Temporary custody papers will include all provisions for the child/children including amount of child support to be paid. A temporary agreement is made when guidelines need to be set/enforced before the matter goes to court. The child still as necessities that must be provided for, therefore I would say yes... whichever parent the child is living with is entitled to the amount of childsupport set forth by the laws in your state.
