It can be requested that the child or a neutral party be named the payee of child support but will likely only be granted if it can be proven that there is a very good reason, such as the child does not actaully reside with the custodial parent, or the custodial parent is neglecting to pay for the child's care
The child's name means nothing. Support is based on parentage.
A child does not have to have the same last name as the biological father to receive child support from that father.
Child support has nothing to do with the child's name. Just because you pay support, the mother is not obligated to give the child your last name. Many people feel that the child will be more comfortable having the same last name as the custodial parent.
Yes, the changing of a name has no bearing on the child support.
Yes. There is no statute of limitations on past-due child support.
Yes. The child does not need to be named after the father for him to be obliged to pay child support. He needs to be the biological father, that's all. Child support obligations arise from being the biological parent of a child and not on the child's name.
Yes.
The only reason to not pay child support is if you are not the biological or adoptive parent. You must provide proof to the court that ordered the child support.
Depends on your state, but odds are that you cannot. Child support is normally for a custodial parent. If you no longer live with that custodial parent, and are 18, you are an adult, not a child. Thus, you are not technically entitled to child support.
A divorce does not effect child support. Also, usually child support stops when the child turns 18.
You will need to make an appointment and get the child support sorted out. You should take in the paperwork you have regarding custody. It is probably only an error.
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
