Child support amounts are determined by the laws of the state in which the minor child resides at the time the lawsuit for support is filed. Generally the age of the non custodial parent has no bearing on the amount ordered by the court for support of his or her child.

My daughter's mom dropped her off with me over 5 years ago. We dropped child support no change was made to legal custody. What should I do to ensure that I have legal and physical custody?

You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order. It would go much easier if the child's mother would consent to the petition for custody.You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order.

If you send your child to the father for a year should you be required to send him the child support money back?

Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.


If a husband purposely terminates his high- paying job prior to the sep agreemt and child support determination would prior income records be used in order determine how much child support he owes?

Yes. They would use his past income information to determine what he should have been paying for child support. That would then be added to his arrears.

How much would a father owe at 50 a month child support if he hasn't paid for two years?

He would owe $1200 which is not much help in the cost of raising a child. He will continue to be responsible for paying his child support until it is all paid and the child support order is terminated by the court. The mother should file a motion for contempt in the court and then stay on top of it.
