In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights.

In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.

Is it legal for a mother to collect child support while the father is living with her and the child?

It depends on the state. In most states the father would still be required to pay child support, even though he is living with the mother and the child. However, if the father was financially supporting the mother and child, it's likely that the courts would suspend the child support order.

What if your son will be 18 next year but will graduate when he is 19 He is living with his mother right now but wants to come live with you when he turns 18 Can you collect child support if this take?

Child support does not automatically go to the person with whom the child is living, it goes to whomever the court order says it does. If the court order says you have to pay child support until the child graduates, then you must pay child support until the child graduates, even if the child is actually living with you. You could almost certainly petition the court to change this, but you'd have to take the trouble to actually do so.


How do you convince the mother to collect child support?

You don't - You explain the benefits that support could provide for the child.
