No, although in some instances one might see it as being justifiable. Minors cannot sue or be sued, therefore it is the responsibility of the custodial parent or legal guardian to initiate legal actions on behalf of a minor child/children.

When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?

Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.


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approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded.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.


Why does a non custodial parent pay for child support to the custodial parent when they live together?

Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.
