Can the custodial parent ask for child support for her children past the age of 18 if the children are full time college students?
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
In general, support is a percentage of the obligor's net income and is not affected by the custodial parent's income. A custodial parent who petitions for an increase in support would presumably have to explain to the court why s/he quit working.
No. (The answer is the same whether the father is the obligor/non-custodial parent or obligee/custodial parent.)
Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent. The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.
yes
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
