ordinarily, yes
In general, child support is a percentage of net income. If the obligor has the child for an extended period of time, the court may suspend support for that period.
Yes. If the child lived with you would you not feed the child if you broke your leg? The child's needs are the same.If you can not work for an extended period of time and your income falls you can request a temporary modification of the child support order and the court may allow it. However, if you do nothing and fall behind in your payments the arrears will continue to accrue.
If you're referring to support for a period prior to the child's death, you don't remove it.
Yes, but you should not have to pay support for any period prior to your knowledge of the child.
In theory, the court can order retroactive support to the birth of the child. However, many judges will not order support for a period prior to the obligor's awareness of the child.
There's no such thing as "marital spousal child support." You might be able to get spousal support ("alimony" or "maintenance") for a brief period to allow you to become self-sufficient.
Yes, if you had custody of the child during the period for which you are seeking retroactive support.
If you're in the US, no, a court will not order a parent to pay child support to their 18-year-old adult child other than in Oregon, where law mandates that support may be extended until the child is 21 if the following qualifications apply: the child remains unmarried and is enrolled in school at least half-time. In other states, the courts may have the option to extend child support for disabled children or those who are attending secondary school and still others provide no statute or option for extended child support. However, parents who are concerned about their child's future may include provisions for a college education in the child support agreement.
Generally these issues are determined and resolved by the courts at the time of divorce. Laws may vary state to state, but usually child support and visitation are two separate issues. Child support is for the welfare and support of the child and is due whether visitation occurs or not. However, child support generally ends at age 18, or the end of the school year that the child turns 18. Sometimes it is extended to age 23 provided the child is enrolled in college. Another reason child support may be extended is if the child has a disability or special need.
In general child support is paid until the child(ren) are 18 yrs. of age. However, it may be extended until the age of 21 (depending on the state) if the child(ren) is attending college.
Having the support of an extended family can help parents through many of the tougher times with child raising
Abatement means temporary suspension of a child support order. Child support continues to accrue but isn't payable immediately for a set period of time.
