Support is owed to the parent (or the State), not the child.
No but that adult child's parent can file a claim for child support arrears that have been determined by the court. The arrears are due to the parent. You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the family court as soon as possible if there is a substantial amount owed. Claims against an estate must be filed promptly.
A lien can be placed on an inheritance for child support arrears. If the custodial parent knows of your pending inheritance a claim can be filed in the estate and the executor must pay it out of your inheritance.
Generally the obligor is responsible for paying the arrears even if the child reaches the age when support is no longer required. However, the custodial parent must stay on top of the issue and file the necessary motion for contempt and/or child support enforcement claim.
Not applicable. You will receive nothing more than the normal amount for a child of a deceased parent.
If a parent drops a child support claim and the award is reversed through the courts, yes any amount that is over due is considered to be in arrears and is still owed.
Yes, there is no limitation on beginning a case for child support. It's unlikely that you will get much, or anything at all in arrears from the 5 years that you did not request it, but child support is the right of the child and each parent is financially responsible for their children.
The custodial parent should file for a modification of that order as soon as possible. Also, she should file a motion for contempt at the same time and get an action going for child support arrears.
The parties cannot make any changes in the court orders unless they petition the court for a modification. The mother should petition the court ASAP to be allowed to claim the child as her dependent for tax purposes and she should file a motion for contempt as well to collect the child support arrears.
In most states yes. However, the child will not claim it, rather the custodial parent.
The custodial Parent has the right to claim both children, but in your case if the NC parent is behind they will automatically take it from their tax refund anyway. But as with any agreement if it states the NC gets to claim one then you can only claim one. If there is not an agreement in that way, then the custodial has the right. The arrears owed to the C has no affect on the claiming rights of another.
You can make a claim against the estate. It is certainly a debt that the executor must take into account when liquidating the estate. The amount of assets will determine if your receive any or all of the money.
Only if the obligee parent releases the claim or is deceased.
