You, (the Absent Parent), and the Custodial Parent both go to your local Child Support Office and file a motion to be heard in front of a judge (in most cases, it's heard on a separate date from the date you file the motion) to cease child support. On the date of the court date, you both appear before a judge and he/she will ask the Custodial Parent if this is his/her wishes. The Custodial Parent will then answer according to how they see fit.
The Custodial Parent can also at that time request that all monies owed to him/her from back support that the Absent Parent has not yet satisfied be forgotten. This will clear the slate for the Absent Parent as far as arrears is concerned. Note, this will not clear any monies owed to the State that the Custodial Parent may have received i.e. TANF. You, the Absent Parent, will still be held responsible for paying this back and your child support will continue-only for repayment of State funds received on behalf of the child-until paid in full.
Petition the court for a modification. If the back support was for any state aid the mother was on, then it can't be forgiven. If it isn't for that, then the mother can write a letter saying she forgives the back support owed to her.
Yes, until ruled on by a judge.
You need to return to the court that issued the order and follow its instructions.
if a divorced couple decides to get back together, which is great by the way, then whoever was receiving the child support has the oppurtunity to say it's over he doesnt need to pay it anymore. that person would have to go back to court before the judge to change it.
I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.
yes
Yes, they can. n
Yes.
straight and simple, yes.

Yes, if a parent owes back child support, they will have to pay it until it is zeroed out even when the children are grown. The age of the child does not affect back child support at all.
No, you are not responsible for their back child support.
