Can a grandparent pick up a child if there is not a court order stating they can?

No, they cannot. If they have removed the child from a dangerous situation they must immediately request a temporary guardianship from the court. The court can grant a temporary guardianship but will initiate the process for a permanent order during which the court will hear testimony from witnesses and petitioners and render a decision.

Does a parent have to pay back child support to a grandmother if the child was in their care?
Nah. I didn't have to, and my lawer said I didn't have to!(I am serious.)=This may depend on the state and county you live in. In parts of PA, if the grandparents are given custody of a child or have custody of a child, they CAN petition for child support, and yes the parents would have to pay for the care of that child.=
We have a court order stating we alternate who claims our child. The child lives with me and the father has visitation.. who is eligible to claim child on tax return?
You must alternate as provided in the court order.
Does a child have to visit a grandparent visitation right?
If it is court ordered, yes. Otherwise the child's parent or guardian can be held in contempt of court and put in jail for failure to abide by a court order.
How do you go about taking tax right from non custodial parent?
Failure to file/pay taxes is a federal crime and can result in prison time if taxes are not paid or intent to defraud the federal government or tax evasion is proven after prosecution. If you really want to unleash that on the non-custodial parent, you can report them to the IRS by filling out Form 3949-A either online at irs.gov or by printing out the form, filling it out and mailing it in.
A grandparent was granted temporary custody of my son. Will that effect my child support payment from the father?
Yes. The payments should be turned over to the person who has legal custody. Child support should have been addressed at the time the guardianship was granted to the grandparent. If that was not done, the child's father needs to go to court to have the support order modified so he can pay the grandparent. If that happens you may be required to pay back any money you accepted when the child was not in your custody. You should review the court order that transferred legal guardianship to the grandparent. If you still have questions you should visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate. You need to avoid future problems that may arise if you spend child support that you are not entitled to receive.
Do you still pay child support if the child is not in school?
Until he or she is 18 years old or until a court of law makes a legal order stating otherwise.

Can a grandma get child support from a mom and dad who don't care for their children?
Any grandparent(s) who are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren or any child of the family and not living in the same residence as the children's parents is entitled to be reimbursed for the care of those children. To be eligible for such support the grandparent must be able to show the court that the caregiving of the children is done from necessity and not just a "family matter". Or the grandparent(s) may file a petition for custody if that has not yet been done, if custody is granted, child support will be ordered as well. Contact the clerk of the circuit court in the county of residence for more information on the laws of the state in which you reside and filing procedures. Or contact the state's department of family and childrens services.

Can child support be terminated due to lack of visitation?
If the person paying child support goes to court about it, it's possible. However, it doesn't "just happen", nor is it legal for someone to stop paying child support without a new court order specifically stating so (unless the child reaches the age at which the court order says child support can stop; in that case it's not necessary to go back to court about it).
