∙ 13y agoI suppose. However, there is no point in doing so. Unlike some other debts, accepting partial child support payments does not constitute an agreement that the debt is paid in full. The courts might take a dim view of a custodial parent refusing payments. The State welfare agency will definitely take a dim view of it.

∙ 11y agoDepends on where you live and the relevant laws applicable to that area. In Australia, Britain, (and the British Commonwealth in general) then yes, a custodial parent can collect child support and also pay child support too. I know this sounds contradictoru but these particular laws mean that a cutodial parent pays the residential parent (and visa versa) for the amount of time the child is in their care. Similarly, each parent can claim that portion of Governmental Child Assistance proportionate to the amount of time the child is in their care.

∙ 12y agoThe parents should get the court's permission in this situation. This is because, legally speaking, a child is entitled to the support of both parents.

∙ 13y agoIn most states, no, the custodial parent cannot refuse child support. Very few states allow the custodial parent to decline receiving child support.

∙ 11y agoAny change to the child support has to be done through the court where it was issued. Whether the judge will allow you to stop paying depends on the reasons you have.

Does a father need to pay child support to the mother if the child does not live with her?
A parent must obey the child support order. A custodial parent may be serving in the military with the child under temporary guardianship. That is no reason to stop paying child support.

Can a child stop child support if they are an adult even if the order is in collection status?
The child can not stop the child support because the support goes to his parent. The parent paying can get the agreement changed at the courts.
If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.

Do you still pay child support on child who become s pregnant?
I am not an attorney or legal specialist. But If you are receiving child support at 20 are you receiving back child support owed from years that the parent skipped while you were a child? If you are receiving back child support then I would think not. If you are still receiving child support on your self at 20 and are pregnant , I would think that it would stop. Being pregnant is an adult action. I am not sure what state you live in but I would check the Divorce decree of your parents .AnswerIf you (or actually, I guess your parent) still receive child support at 20, then I imagine it's because you're still in school. If that's the case, and you remain in school and do not become 'emancipated' (for example through marriage), then I don't think a pregnancy would have any effect on the child support order. Check with a local attorney.
