You will need to check with a lawyer in your jurisdiction, as the nature of failure to pay child support debt varies from state to state.

At the very least, I suspect that you can have a lien placed against your property/home for the amount of back child support (i.e. liens indicate debt owed when the property is sold). I would find it very unlikely that a child support debt would allow for forced sale of a primary residence, though I could easily see that forced sale of "investment" property to satisfy a child support debt could be possible. Once again, please consult and actual Family Law attorney.

No, but it would be stupid not to pay child support. If you don't pay child support you lose rights to your child.

Can a child ask for child support if he ran away from home and he's 17 in the state of texas?

No. The child support goes to the parent who have custody to use to pay for the child. it does not go to the child directly. A runaway has no legal right to run away and if caught by the police they will bring him home. Just because you have not returned home does not mean you are allowed to stay away. If they have reported you as a runaway, anyone who helps you can be charged with helping or harboring a runaway with severe legal consequences.


Can a child be taken away from the home if there was a adult overdose while child was home?

Potentially. If the proper authorities find reason to believe that the child is at risk of obtaining drugs illegally, or that the child is also at risk of an overdose, the authorities can remove the child from the home for "Child Neglect".

A guy went to jail for drugs can he get custody of the kid if the mother is working and providing a stable home?

This would be very unlikely. If the mother is providing for the child and the child is not being abused why would the child be taken away from the mother. Why would the child be taken away from where it is being cared for properly and give to someone who has had problems with the law?


Does child support continue when said child is sixteen years old and has run away from home?

It depends on the how the support was laid out legally. You should check your local laws because it also depends where you are located and the age of majority there - support usually stops when the child has reached age of majority unless otherwise stated by both parties. Now, again checking your local laws, if the child is no longer residing with the person that is receiving the support payments the support payments should no longer have to be made. Child support payments are paid to support a child.


In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?

Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.


Do you have to pay child support if you live in Texas and the mother of your child including your child live in another state?

Yes, the location unless living in your home doesnt take away your obligation to support the child. In fact, if you have no custody or visitation it actually increases your financial responsibility.
