My Sons no longer live with me and when the checks come I just sign the back and return to their father who they live with. We both agree to just contribute when needed. Do we have to go to court?
If the court order is up then tell your payroll department and call child support services to remind them. It may require a motion to the court for a modification. This can be done Pro Se.
If the child has aged out, you make an official request with child support enforcement. see links below
No. The support YOU have been ordered to pay is dependent upon YOU and YOUR situation. It is court ordered of YOU, not your child.
Your spouse has no authority to over-ride a court ordered child support.
That depends on the State and the language of the order.
Depends on your reasons. see links below
Make an official request to Child Support Enforcement, or file a motion to modify. see links
NO. The person ordered to pay the support must petition the court for that.
No. The NCP must return to court to get legal custody and terminate the support order.
No - they are separate matters. If the custodial parent is denying court-ordered visitation, file a complaint with that court.
Child support and visitation are separate matters. If you do not have court-ordered visitation rights, get them. If you do, go back to court to enforce them - the law is taking an increasingly dim view of custodial parents who deny court-ordered visitation.
Generally child support payments go to the time of state- maturity of the child, which is 18 in most jurisdictions.
You must return to court and request a modification or termination of the order. Until it is modified by the court it will remain in effect. In general, to terminate child support, you need to 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.
Yes, the court will terminate child support.
