It's a possible, in some instances the stipulation for payment for higher education is specified in an original support agreement. Also, the custodial parent can petition the court to modify the support order pertaining to that issue. Concerning any order modification, the judge will take into account the income of both parents, the possibility of grants, student loans, the student's employment possibilities and so forth, when rendering a decision.

No, and no can he, so there must be a greater issue related here as to the safety of the children. As for being in arrears, in this economy that comes as no shock as men do not know there is free legal help to avoid or reduce arrears from the government. That is what I teach them.
Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.
Can the guardian of a child stop child support?
No. The guardian of a minor child cannot "relieve" the parent of their child support obligation. That power is reserved for the courts. If the guardian doesn't need it to help support the child then it should be deposited into a trust with the child as the sole beneficiary at college time.
Who pays for college if your parents get a divorce?
Even though parents get a divorce they each can pay their 1/2 of their child(rens) college. Many students have to put themselves through college, so it may be possible you may have to find work and go to college too. It depends on how financially secure the parents(s) is. Children should never think that it's their parents responsibility alone to put them through college. Work never hurt anyone. In the state of Pennsylvania, over the age of 18 (and graduated from high school) you are considered an adult. Child support ends (unless there are special circumstances) and neither parent is "responsible" to pay for your schooling. Parents are not responsible for higher education. You yourself as an adult are supposed to take care of it. Many parents do help and pay for all of it, but in many cases the parents cant help at all. After you are 18 your education is your responsibility. In some cases depending upon the financial status of both parents, the divorce decree in conjunction with the child support order will stipulate if a parent is responsible for helping or paying for higher education, special needs which pertains to a child with a disability and other such issues. If there are no such terms included in divorce terms, neither parent is obligated to pay college expenses. However, the age of majority in Alabama and Nebraska is 19, and in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21, parent(s) can be legally required to financially support their children at an acceptable level until such ages are reached or until a court rules otherwise.

Can it be part of the divorce decree who gets to claim the children for tax purposes?
Yes, but that is not the end of the story.The divorce decree can specify who gets to claim the dependent exemption for the child for income tax purposes. However, there is a specific attachment the noncustodial parent must file with his or her tax return each year to claim the exemption.In general, the IRS allows the custodial parent to claim the dependency exemption. The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater part of the year. The other parent is the noncustodial parent. If the parents divorced or separated during the year and the child lived with both parents before the separation, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child lived for the greater part of the rest of the year.The rules as to when the noncustodial parent can claim the exemption changed effective for tax years beginning after July 2, 2008 (the 2009 calendar year for most taxpayers.)POST-2008 DECREE OR AGREEMENTFor divorce decrees that went into effect after 2008, the custodial parent must sign Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent(or a similar form,) and give the signed form to the noncustodial parent to release the exemption. The noncustodial parent must attach that form to his or her tax return to claim the exemption that year.The noncustodial parent can no longer attach certain pages from a divorce decree or separation agreement instead of Form 8332 if the decree or agreement was executed after 2008.The custodial parent can specify on Form 8332 the release applies to only the current tax year or all future tax years. To help ensure future support, you may not want to release your claim to the exemption for the child for future years.POST-1984 / PRE-2009 DECREE OR AGREEMENTIf the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent can still attach certain pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form 8332.However, the custodial parent who gave up the exemption via the divorce decree does not appear to be without recourse. See "To revoke a prior release of exemption" below.PRE-1985 DECREE OR AGREEMENTThe rules are again slightly different if the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect before 1985. See the instructions for Form 8332 if that applies to your situation.TO REVOKE A PRIOR RELEASE OF EXEMPTIONForm 8332 can also be used to revoke a prior release of exemption. The revocation is effective no earlier than the tax year beginning in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the custodial parent provides, or makes reasonable efforts to provide, the noncustodial parent with written notice of the revocation.For example, if the custodial parent provides notice of revocation to the noncustodial parent in 2009, the earliest tax year the revocation can be effective is the tax year beginning in 2010. You can use Part III of Form 8332 for this purpose.You must attach a copy of the revocation to your return for each tax year you claim the child as a dependent as a result of the revocation. You must also keep for your records a copy of the revocation and evidence of delivery of the notice to the noncustodial parent, or of reasonable efforts to provide actual notice.

Can the noncustodial parent receive child support from the custodial parent if it is in court papers that there is joint custody of children?
It is assumed you mean the parents have joint legalcustody and one parent has physical custody.Generally, the parent with physical custody is awarded the child support since child support is intended to help pay for the child needs, living expenses and all the associated costs of raising the child. The custodial parent has much more in living expenses that are associated with raising the child.See related question link.
