That depends on the child support order. In most places, child support continues until the child reaches the age of majority. Some may require continued payments through the college years if they attend.

In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
Do you pay child support if your child is no longer living with her mother?
You must obey the child support order as long as it is in effect and until it has been modified by a court. A child may be in college. The child support payments must continue to be made to the custodial parent as provided in the child support order.
Do you still pay support to the custodial parent if your child has been taken away and placed in the care of a guardian?
In this case the other parent is no longer the custodial parent. If the child is now staying with another guardian, they are now considered the custodial guardian and child support should be paid to them.
You are 18 and your mother receives child support for you how can you get that child support check put in your name?
Depends on your state, but odds are that you cannot. Child support is normally for a custodial parent. If you no longer live with that custodial parent, and are 18, you are an adult, not a child. Thus, you are not technically entitled to child support.
How will it affect child support payments if your husband's ex-wife gets sole custody?
Child support, is based on the needs of the child and the economic situation of the parents. Child support is primarily determined by what it takes to provide the child with a reasonable standard of living, based on what the two divorced parents have available. Sole custody indicates that the child will be living solely (with limited visitation) with a just one of the parents. Thus, that parent will be responsible for providing the vast majority of the food, clothes, etc. that the child will be using. The non-custodial parent now no longer will be providing those (if they had shared custody). So it is likely that the court will also modify the child support requirement - either reducing the amount the custodial parent had been paying the now non-custodial parent, or increasing the amount that the now non-custodial parent had been paying the now custodial parent.

If there was no order put in place for child support can the child who is now 23 go after the mother for back child support in South Carolina?
Child support does not belong to the child but rather to the custodial parent to help compensate for the cost of raising the child until he or she is 18 or no longer attends school as a fulltime student. The custodial parent can however seek payment for back past child support from the non custodial parent.
Child no longer lives with me where does child support go?
In general, child support payments are intended to provide financial support for the child's needs. If the child no longer lives with you, the child support payments may still continue to be directed to you as the custodial parent, unless there is a legal agreement or court order stating otherwise. It is important to consult with a lawyer or a local family court to understand the specific laws and regulations regarding child support in your jurisdiction.
You are the non-custodial parent your 18 yr old daughter has been living with you for 5 years do the custodial parent have to pay child support and how is this done?
You didn't state where you live, but if you're in the US (and without knowing what state).... Five years ago you should have petitioned for custody and child support, but since you didn't do it then and the child is 18 now (no longer a minor), there's likely nothing you can do. Call a local attorney and ask.
If a teen emancipates in NC does the teen automatically receive the child support that was awarded to his custodial parent?
No. Once a child is legally emancipated, the parent is no longer obligated to pay child support.
Can child support stop to the mother that has signed over her rights?
Child support is paid to support the child and follows the child; it is paid to the child's custodial parent, or to a guardian. So if the mother has lost her rights, she is no longer custodial and therefore may no longer have charge of the funds. Child support will still have to be paid though and this time also by the mother, to the one now taking care of the child. If the child is being adopted you pay until the adoption is finalized.
