Can you pay child support to your 26 year old daughter instead of her mother?

That depends on the child support orders. It is unusual for someone to have to be paying child support to a 26 year old child. But sometimes a judge will order the support to be paid until the child is out of college, or until a certain age. If your child support order did not order you to pay it beyond college or their current age, you don't have to pay it at all, unless it was ordered for another reason. If that is the case, then it has to be paid to the mother. But since I don't know the reason you are still having to pay it with your child being 26 years old, it's hard to give more of an answer. If the child support was in arrears, and you are now paying back child support, then yes, you still have to pay it to the mother. Other than these reasons, though, I don't see where you would be obligated to even pay it at all. If you are paying it by choice, and not by court order, then you can send it directly to your child.

Is a father responsible for child support in Canada still liable to the mother if she sends him to live with his sister?
I would assume the mother pays her daughter the child support since the child cost money. If the move is permanent you have to speak to the court and have it changed so it goes to her daughter instead.
What happens to the child support when your daughter has a baby and moves out with her boyfriend and no longer living with her mother?
If the daughter is no longer living with her mother, and is independent, then you could petition to end child support. If she is still in highschool, you might continue to pay with the agreement that the money transfers from mother to daughter.

In Mississippi can you pay child support directly to your daughter who will be going away to college instead of sending the payments to her mother?
The terms of the support order dictate to whom and for how long the alloted amount should be rendered. If the order does not contain such specifics, the support money can be sent to the child if said child has reached the age of majority for the state of residence.
If you are receiving child support for your daughter from her father and he has another child and the mother of that child files for child support also is your daughter child support affected by that?
Yes since there is only so much money that can be taken for child support regardless of the number of children. The limit is 25% of a persons wage can be taken for child support. The courts can not take more then 25% of a persons income even if there are a hundred children.

If father is paying child support to mother of child but mother's parents are raising child and the mother does not live in the parents house can child support instead be paid to those raising child?
Yes, but you need to be the child's legal guardian. I am raising my two grandkids. Their mother does not live in my house. I collect child support from my ex son-in-law for his and my daughters 2 children. I went to the Department of Human Services with a copy of my custody paper and they set it up so that I get the support payments from him. My daughter however, does not pay support to us. I think the state is just now going after her for support. But, yes it can be done. Check with your local Department of Human Services, or whatever the equivalent is in your area. Good luck.

No, it's two years too late for the mother to file and a year too late for the daughter to file.
Does a father still have to pay child support on his 17 year old daughter when her mother gave her permission to get married?
If you're in the US, marriage automatically emancipates a minor and therefore the parents are no longer responsible for supporting them, so, no, child support does not continue. The noncustodial parent needs to file a petition to have the child support terminated.
