Usually yes, but the amount will be based on factors such as your income, the other parent's income, etc. Try citizens advice bureau (if you're based in the UK) or equivalent for specific advice. In the US custody and child support are different issues, one has no bearing on the other. If there is a child support order in place the terms should be adhered to until/unless the support order is rescinded or amended. The paying parent should never arbitrarily cease paying the required amount on the specified date. Such action can result in contempt of a court order, nonsupport of minor children charges and so forth which may result in the non compliant parent being jailed.

Can you collect child support if your child is not living with you?

In most cases, a man is legally required to pay child support even if he does not want the child. This is because child support is considered the right of the child, not the parent's choice.

Is it state law that a parent HAS TO pay child support when the other parent tells the judge that they do not want or need it?

No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
