No.
Who to call when deceased parent owes back child support?
Hopefully, there is insurance or other funds in the will designated for the child. Of course, the child will be eligible for social security benefits if the parent worked.
Can they take money out of your account for child support if you marry someone who is obligated to pay child support?
If the account is joint it can be levied to the extent of funds that belong to the non compliant parent. The joint holder would have to provide proof to the court of the percentage of funds belonging to them to prevent said funds from being levied. The best solution if for the spouse who is not obligated for support to have an account in their name only and hold only funds belonging to them in this account. Never attempt to deposit funds of the non compliant parent into an account held by someone else in order to avoid a levy for child support. Likewise never attempt to transfer property owned by the non compliant parent to avoid attachment for child support arrearages.
What can you do if you know a parent receiving child support but doesn't have custody of the children?
Encourage the person or persons with legal custody to file for child support modification or diversion of funds to them. If they do not have legal custody, that must be established or child support will continue to go to the person of record, the parent, in this case.
If you owe back child support and your child turns 18 who will get the money the child or the custodial parent?
The custodial parent who has had the burden of bringing up the child without the support you were meant to pay will get the funds. However if the sate has been subsidizing your child and the custodial parent when this would not have been necessary if you had payed the support you should have been paying, then the sate (taxpayer) will get the payments it is owed first.
What does it mean when child support in NJ was paid by special collections?
I'm pretty sure it means that child support has garnished wages and or is intercepting any and all funds that come from any source of the parent who has to pay lots of back support. This probably means that the parent didn't willingly pay on his/her own. It was taken by child support!
Is it legal for a collection agency to garnish child support?
No, child support is for the child/children and is not subject to creditor attachment. If the support payments are deposited in a checking account that has other monies, the receiving debtor parent must show proof to the court that the support funds are exempt from garnishment.
Is there a legal way to have my court ordered child support be paid directly to my child instead of the custodial parent?
No. The purpose of child support is to help pay the day to day costs of caring for a child. It can be used at the discretion of the custodial parent for rent, mortgage, utility bills, auto expenses, food, clothing, medical expenses, entertainment, educational needs, etc. You cannot pay it over to a child because it is a right owned by the custodial parent and the funds are the property of the custodial parent.

When you turn 18 are the child support checks legally yours?
No, child support checks are not legally considered the property of the child. The checks are intended to support the child's needs until they reach the age of majority or until a court orders otherwise. The recipient of the child support payments (usually the custodial parent) is responsible for spending the funds in the best interest of the child.

If a father owes back child support can money be taken from his banking account without his permission?
No. The custodial parent or state child support agency would need to file suit, obtain a judgment and then use the judgment to levy the obligated parent's bank account, or the account holder would need to voluntarily allow withdrawal of funds. A judgment is not necessary for an obligated parent's tax refund (state or federal) to be seized for back child support.
