What if you pay support and back child support and the child comes to live with you?

You would still be required to pay any back child support as those payments were actually due while the child did not reside with you, and in essence your ex was accepting an iou in lieu of those payments when they should have been paid. Regarding current payments you would need to go back to court to have the child support order modified to reflect the current situation.

There are two age of majority children and the recipient spouse of child support is moving to another country without the children what is the impact to child support?

If by your state laws, you are obligated to pay beyond high school, than you can request that your payments go directly to the children, PLUS file a motion that the amount the residential parent was obligated to spend on the children, also be sent to them. In a Missouri case, when the child took up residence with her boyfriend, while away at college, and was no longer living with the mother, the mother was obligated to pay her part, based on the child support guidelines, to the daughter. The mother lost on appeal. It was her belief that only the father should be obligated. With two child support payments, the daughter was getting $1800 a month for living expenses.See related link below

If a 36 year old determines the biological father by a paternity test. can 36 year old collect back child support payments.?

Typically, this action would have had to have been filed prior to the child's 18th birthday. It should be noted that a number of these cases have cause major breakdowns in the relationship with the mother when an adult child seeks to recover child support they believed they are owed, only to learn the father had already paid it while the mother claimed she never got any.
