Physical custody is based upon your ability to provide for your child's emotional, physical, mental and financial needs. Failure to financially provide for the child when you are the noncustodial parent shows unwillingness or inability to provide financially for him/her.

Should one party keep receiving child support payments even if the child is not with them fulltime or not at all?
If the child is not with them at all, the child support should go to the one who have custody of the child. If they share custody they have to agree on who will pay support and who will take the responsibility and see to that the child have everything he needs. If the parents can not agree the court will decide.

Can a father get custody after 14 years just because I file for child support?
Filing for child support has no bearing on the issue of custody. Custody is decided on the basis of the welfare of the child. To get custody of a child, the father would have to demonstrate that he would do a better job as parent. I will add that even if you do need financial assistance, that does not in any way suggest that you are not a good mother. Those are separate issues.
With joint custody do you pay child support for the months the child lives with you?
Yes, this is an overal cost load for your portion of the child's care. It is independent of where the child is unless both parties agree to changes. It also depends on what kind of custody you're talking about, physical of legal? Legal custody has nothing to do with child support If you have 50/50 physical custody, that's way different Child support may not even be exchanged. It all depends on how much money is made by BOTH parents.

Is it legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in Texas?
No, because it is considered bribing, and even if you could, I doubt a parent would give up a child for money if they are suing or have custody in the first place. If you want said child, you can sue for custody of the child. If you cannot gain custody, then the next best thing to do is sue for visitation.It's not legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in any state! But if the parent in question has a child support award, he or she will be free of paying child support or being in any way responsible for the child from that day forward.
