How can the father get out of paying child support?

Answer 1

If it is part of the final divorce decree, or an amended final decree, you can't ... at least until one has satisfied the court order - not just the monthly support payments but the entire computed total. Some believe that once the child attains age 18 that their support payments cease ... not true if they are in arrears by several months or years ... they still have to pay until the grand total of all payments has been completed. If they fail to pay, one could face a charge of Contempt of Court and face prison time and some hefty fines in addition to the child support monies due.

Answer 2

If you are asking how, as a non-custodial parent, you can end the requirement that you pay support for your child, the answer lies in your support agreement and/or state law. Child support will end when the child has attained the age referenced in the agreement or the age referenced by the law in your state.

Answer 3

Yes, if you can show the court that: you have custody of the child; the child is deceased; the child has been adopted; the child is emancipated; the child has attained majority; and/or you have no income other than public assistance; AND, you do not owe any past-due support.

Answer 4

A parent who pays child support cannot stop paying child support until the child turns 18. Also, the parent may stop paying child support with the court's permission.

Answer 5

That will happen if the child gets adopted not otherwise. Even if you give up your parental rights you still have to pay.

Answer 6

This is dependent of the provisions under the divorce and evidence of self support by the receiver. Get an independent review of the order.

Answer 7

If the child has aged out, make an official request with your state office of child support enforcement. see link below

Answer 8

He can't. The only way to not be responsible for your own children is to not have any.

Answer 9

You don't. It's required by law.
