Whether or not a 17 year old can receive child support in his or her name depends on many different factors. Some states will allow this in certain limited circumstances, while others will not. The child would have to prove to the courts that there is a compelling reason to allow this before it could happen.

∙ 15y agoContact your attorney and file a "Motion of Amendment" to your court order and upon discovery of status of said child a judge will issue stop support order and you will be absolved of any child support payments except any arrearage that you might owe. If you owe any arrearage, that will still have to be paid.

∙ 15y agoDepends on the State but usually....yes. In New York for example, if the child still lives with the custodial parent (even if she has a child of her own), then the answer is yes. In this case, the noncustodial parent has to pay until the child turns 21.

∙ 9y agoIn most cases you need to pay child support for a child that is only 17 years old. This is controlled by state law and should be clearly indicated in the child support order.

If the father is paying child support to the mother and the child is living with the father. does he still pay child support?
This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for this is the mother still has bills that are keeping the house and such for the child to come back too. The only way a father will not have to pay is if the court order says that during summer possession the father does not have to pay child support, but normally in this case the mother would not be obligated to pay child support to the father. However in the end, people should do what is best for the children and not worry about the dollars they receive or don't receive.

It's too late now. If you didn't want children you needed to plan ahead before your ex partner got pregnant. There are ways to avoid conception. As the child's father you will have to pay child support as long as the child's mother files a petition for child support.

Can the mother of a child file for child support after the child has turned 18 and both parents went to court and the mother agreeded to dismiss the charges already?
If you agreed to dismiss a claim for child support arrears you cannot file a new case regarding those same arrearages. If you agreed to forego child support prior to the child reaching 18 then it is too late to go back now.
