When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
Will a judge take custody away from the custodial parent if they can not financially support their child?
No, that alone is not a reason to terminate custody. The non-custodial parent should be paying child support.
Does the non-custodial parent need to have insurance on the child when paying child support in Texas?
Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement. If the parent loses their insurance and the custodial parent has the ability to insure the child - it will be possible for the state to order the custodial parent to do so. This may change the amount of support the non custodial parent pays - it is entirely up to the whim of the courts.
If non custodial parent quits their job to get a lower paying job does child support go down?
Yes, the non custodial parent will have to file for a change in the child support for it to be lowered. The new child support will be based on the new income.
What if parent paying child support earns less than parent receiving support?

Do i have to tell the non-custodial parent that i am moving out of state with our child if he isn't paying child support?
In Most states child support is separate from custody. Even if the non custodial parent is not paying child support he / she can request to visitation. because the parent is in arears does not hinder him / her the right to visit the child. both visitation and support are doen separately. Uunless there was a divorce that stipulates the arangement.
Is it illegal to make the custodial parent pay child support?
It's rare for the custodial parent to have to pay child support, but it does happen. It usually only occurs in one of three situations: 1. The custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent. 2. Parenting time is split 50/50 (or close to it). Or 3. The non-custodial parent is paying additional expenses for the child, such as high health-care premiums or child care costs. Your state may have other exceptions to the rule, but yes, exceptions do exist and the custodial parent is sometimes required to pay child support to the non-custodial parent.
Does child support stay in the state of the paying parent?
It will be forwarded to the custodial parent after the State'(s') share, if any, is kept as reimbursement for assistance provided.
Is it possible for the non-custodial parent to pay child support in advance to avoid paying monthly?
The usual method of paying child support is by income withholding. There's nothing wrong with paying in advance, but let the custodial parent know what you're doing and DO NOT send the payments to her - make your payments by check to the State Disbursement Unit or to the courts.
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
If a pregnant 16-year-old wants to live with the non-custodial parent will the custodial parent have to pay child support?
The minor female could not arbitrarily change residences without the permission of the custodial parent or the court. In addition, the custodial parent would not be required to pay support unless the non custodial parent filed for primary custody and support payments and the court granted the petition. The parent paying child support is legally obligated to continue with the terms of the court order until said order is rescinded or amended. To cease the action, regardless of the change of circumstances would place the parent in a position of contempt of a court order.
If you owe back child support and your child turns 18 who will get the money the child or the custodial parent?
The custodial parent who has had the burden of bringing up the child without the support you were meant to pay will get the funds. However if the sate has been subsidizing your child and the custodial parent when this would not have been necessary if you had payed the support you should have been paying, then the sate (taxpayer) will get the payments it is owed first.
