What state enforcing child support while a child attends college?
None. Since the "child" is 18 and an adult the parent no longer needs to pay child support. You may wish to help your child while in college, but it is not mandatory.
You pay child support and college expenses am I entitled to a reduction in support?
It is my understanding that if the noncustodial parent is paying child support in the state of Mo. and the child decides to live on campus/away from custodial parent while attending college and noncustodial parent is paying % of college expenses that include room and board a modification/reduction in child support may be in order. However I would like to see a court case/opinion regarding this matter.
Does the non custodial parent have to pay child support while the child is living w mom and commuting to college in Connecticut?
Yes, you have to pay until they are 18yo. In some states the child support can be prolonged until the child is 21-24 when they are in college.
In NY state if a child wants to live with the non-custodial parent at age eighteen does the custodial parent then pay child support?
Typically child support ceases when the child reaches the age of majority unless the court decides to continue support while the child is in school, whether it be high school or college. You can certainly go to court and request an order of support, but unless you were previously ordered to pay support to the custodial parent beyond age eighteen while the child was in their care it is unlikely an order will be imposed.
If a 21 year old full time student lives on their own is the custodial parent entitled to child support?
If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living

Only if you are found to be a unsuitable parent. Regardless of who has them you still have to pay child support. If you mean that you support your parents, that is optional while child support is not.
Does the non-custodail parent have to pay child support while the child lives out of state with her boyfriend?
As long as she is a minor he has. Child support is not paid to the child but to one of the parents to be used for the child.
If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
Is a father legally obligated to pay for child support all the way through college?
It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.
