Because spouse/child support is paid out of your income, it would cease on your death. However, if there were insurance policies, wills, trusts, etc. set up before death, they would be taken care of by your efforts.
If you die you cannot possibly pay child support. The custodial parent needs to apply for Survivor's Benefits through the Social Security Administration.
Many women die from spousal abuse due co-dependency issues.
Nope, if you are ordered to pay XXX amount per month and it hasn't been paid up yet you will owe child support until it is paid up or you die. But, it will also accumulate interest, doubling in amount every few years.
if you have insurance and they die, like that gerber life plan...but not if theyre over18 if its child support
No. The money isn't for the mother. The money is for supporting the child. Back child support belongs to the estate of the deceased and will eventually benefit the child. And even if the child should die, the back child support does not go away.
It's possible.
Do you know that your child, parent, or former spouse may be able to receive Social Security benefits based on your work record? If you qualify for Social Security, and you retire, become disabled, or die, your unmarried child under 18 may be eligible for benefits. If your child is a full time student in the twelfth grade or lower, benefits may be paid through age 19. College students are not eligible. Your child, who became disabled before the age of 22, may receive benefits as long as he/she remains disabled. Your adult child, disabled since childhood, may also apply for benefits on your record, even if receiving benefits on his/her own. The benefits will be computed on both records, and the higher of the two will be paid. These benefits apply to your natural born children and adopted children. Your stepchildren are also eligible if you provided more than ½ of their support and you have not divorced their natural parent. In certain circumstances, similar benefits can be extended to your grandchildren, even step-grandchildren. Although you may be aware of benefits for your child, you may not realize that, if you should die, your parent may be entitled to Social Security benefits based on your record. If your parent is over 62 and you were providing over ½ of his/her support at the time of your death, he/she may be eligible if they do not qualify for equal or greater benefits on their own record. To receive benefits based on your record, your parent may not remarry after your death. These benefits apply to your natural parents, adoptive parents, or stepparents, who became your stepparents before you were 16. Even your former spouse may be eligible for Social Security based on your work record. If you retire or die, and your marriage lasted for at least 10 years, your former spouse is entitled to spousal benefits. If your former spouse is caring for your natural, adopted or disabled child under the age of 16, he/she is eligible for spousal benefits regardless of the length of your marriage.
They remain in the Social Security fund to be paid to other beneficiaries.
Yes, if the order is still in effect. He must obey the child support order or he will be found in contempt of a court order. If his income has decreased he can petition the court to modify the child support order.
If the man died intestate in any state, the state has rules for dividing his property after debts are paid ( the first purpose of the probate law is to pay debts, then you got an estate to divide) each state is slightly diffierent, but generally, the living spouse is entitled to a certain interest, or division of his property after debts are paid, and then his children or their heirs. Next, frequently forgotten when people with spouses die and die intestate, is the spousal 'years support' provission which provides for special treatment for one year for the widow or widower. Each state is diffiernet...each state is diffierent. and if he had a will, it depends on what he wrote on his will.
In most states there will be an automatic change to the will. The state doesn't like having children with no support. But you should get a will made particularly if you want to control who takes care of the child after you are gone.
It is considered a bad idea for a child to get life insurance because insurance policies are paid continuously. Compared to a child, whose life expectancy is longer, adults will get more from life insurance policies because they are more like to die soon.
