As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
Until they and the interest penalties are paid.
That is a decision of the court.
No, there's a 12 month limit past the age of majority.
as long as they want dummy, pay your support!!
It can take up to six months
Incarceration does not automatically relieve one of paying support that's due under any order that was in effect at the time of the obligor's incarceration. In such a case, the incarcerated parent should petition the court to terminated/suspend the obligation. Because support is based on ones income, incarcerated parents are typically not ordered to pay support. In addition, followed by addressing the issue of incarceration, also address the probability to freeze fees as they will incur. Out of experience, I know someone that incurred fees while she was doing her time and had a rude awakening after seeing the bill. Although, there is the options to adjust as long as supporting documents are available.
Just about forever....the laws really make child support payments unavoidavle by time of bankruptcy, etc. Get 'em!
The child support is paid to the parent, not the child, to pay for the expenses of the child. So as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back my guess is that the child support is being used correctly.
As soon as it's paid off it reverts back to you.
