If the court order says you pay child support, you pay child support. There may be any number of logical, good reasons that you feel you shouldn't have to, but they don't matter. Only the court order matters.

You can go back to court and seek to have the order modified, but the bottom line is, no matter how much sense it makes to you that you shouldn't have to pay child support, until that order is modified you have to do what it says.

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

In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.


Does a parent still have to pay such high child support if the primary parent remarries?

It depends on the state. Most states do not take a new spouse's income into account when determining the child support amount, so even if the custodial parent remarries, child support amounts are likely to stay the same.


What are reasons not to pay child support?

There are no valid reasons not to get child support. That money is supposed to be used to help raise the child.
