It depends on the laws in your state and the age of your chiild. Some states allow a parent to petition for child support within only a couple of years of the child reaching eighteen. State law vary. If you are referring to child support arrears, they can be collected after a child has reached the age when regular child support payments are no longer required. You should visit the local family court and ask to speak with an advocate.
Yes. Andre Rison had to pay over $60K of his pension to back child support.
No, not likely. If you are over 18 yrs. of age, you are considered an adult, and child support is exactly what it is...."child-support" for CHILDREN, not adults!
If the issue is child support that would depend on the terms that are in the child support order. If the order stipulates an age over the state's age of majority then it is likely arrearages can be recovered, as disability benefits are subject to garnishment for child support obligations. Relating to child support she would need to file suit or request assistance from the state's department of child support enforcement. If it is for spousal maintenance (alimony) it is unlikely she could recover any arrearages.
It continues until age 22 with some exceptions.
In 20 years, I've never seen a woman do that. They usually just go on and collect it. Over 30% of men currently paying child support is on children not theirs. see link
Yes, up to 55% of gross income.
Go to family services. You shouldn't be paying child support for a child over 18. They can help you with the legal issues.
If you and your husband have been separated for over a year and he is not paying child support, you must consult a lawyer and have a custody agreement before taking the children out of state.
If the amounts paid are over and above the amount due in a child support order it would be considered a gift to the child's mother. If there is no existing child support order you should make payments by check. If the mother eventually seeks a child support order the court can go backward to collect child support that should have been paid. If you have proof of payments they will result in a credit.
No. Where he lives or who with is not relevant and he paid child support for their kids before he moved in surely.Another PerspectiveYou can inquire at the family court with jurisdiction over your case. Ask to speak with an advocate. You seem to think that his keeping the child support order for those children in effect, while he resides with them, may affect your child support from him. You should be able to get an answer to that question from the court.His child support obligation for his first family may well affect the amount you receive for your child.
yes
Absolutely not unless that specific provision is recited in the child support order. He must pay his court ordered child support in full. Any other items he provides for the children are simply his way of helping. He does not get to decide how the child support must be spent by deducting his purchases from the amount owed. He actually owes it to his child to provide whatever help he can over and above child support. The custodial parent does numerous extra things for the child every day.Absolutely not unless that specific provision is recited in the child support order.
