The parents can agree to waive the unpaid support - the court must approve this after finding it to be in the child's best interest.
Yes (but not SSI).
The courts may approve you/your Mom's request to waive past-due support.
only with the court's permission
until arrangements are made to pay it
NEVER PAY CHILD SUPPORT WITH A COURT ORDER AND THROUGH THE COURTS, OTHERWISE IT CAN BE CONSIDERED A GIFT.see links
he will have to pay back child support if owed unless mother agrees not to or he will have to pay back support if owed to state like if mother was on state aid,but no he will not have to pay for future support
Assuming that the support was paid to the custodial parent and was not through the state's division of child enforcement then the court might waive the debt. Generally a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is granted to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption. A TPR is not meant to be a legal venue for a parent to be relieved of the financial obligation to their minor children.
If you have a court ordered agreement then I know in Missouri the state will garnish wages or tax refunds to begin to recoup some of the money. However if you have not received a child support agreement and you want to then you have to go in to the state and request for a child support hearing. This will determine the father of the child and how much if any the non-custodial parent owes. Missouri does not usually require back child support to be paid, it is from the date of the final court hearing in determining the correct paternity. With all of that said, you can receive child support for your child, but there are forms and court hearings that will need to be attended to ensure you and your child are getting what the state feels is deserved.
With the exception of cases involving Welfare, child support is not mandatory in any state. However, this is not a good idea for the obligor parent, especially one who wishes to simply pay the other parent directly. In a California case, the children (age 18 & 22) of a separated man were allowed to sue their father for $134 million dollars in retroactive child support. The parents were never married. However, since 1988 the father voluntarily paid the mother $18,000.00 a month in child support, without a court order, so it was a called gift by the court.
Up to age 18, retroactive five years maximum, if approved. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement opposes this practice.
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.
