A mother can use the child support in any way that fulfills the needs of the children. She needs it even more if she's not working.

Do you owe your child's mother child support if the child has a child of her own?

Yes. You have to legally support the child until she is 18; the only way you don't have to is if the court terminates the child support. You cannot (legally) decide yourself that you no longer have to take care of your child.

She can't. She might be able to persuade a court to do so. The child support would, of course, cease (and in fact the father might be able to then claim child support from the mother).

Can a Florida mother receive child support even if she owes child support on a previous case?

If the mother isn't receiving any kind of assistance from the government, she can waive the right to child support from the father, but it wouldn't be in the child's best interest. Child support is the child's right, not the mother's. If the mother were really well off financially, or if she didn't want the father anywhere around the child, she could waive the child's right to support. The father has a responsibility to help take care of the child he helped bring into this world.ClarificationGenerally, in the US, a mother cannot legally waive a child's right to support from their father. A child is legally entitled to be supported by both parents. However, the mother can choose to not involve the court if the parents were never married or if there will be no divorce action filed. However, if the mother doesn't want the money she should put in a college fund for the child.


Do you have to support your separated spouse?

Parents must support their biological children regardless of the circumstances and regardless if a child support order is in place. Judges take an extremely critical view of a parent whether it be the father or mother who neglect their parental responsibilties. The morality of such action is an entirely different issue.


If the mother of a child took the father off child support can they put him back on?

The only time you can take a father off of child support is if the mother agrees with it, but that rarely happens, so I'm going to have to say no, it's very rare, the closest you can get to not paying AT ALL, is reducing the pay .
