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.
If the parents are getting divorced, you might be able to get spousal support ("alimony" or "maintenance") for a brief period to allow you to become self-sufficient.
Both parents have a cause of action with respect to the child's wrongful death. Each parent is an heir of the child, in equal shares, absent a Will. hm im not 2 sure whys that Why? Because the divorce of a child's parents is not a divorce of a child from a parent. In other words, it does not terminate the parent-child relationship between the child and either parent.
Keeping the money is theft. You will have to pay it back. The money should go to the person who have the kids and if that is none of the parents, both parent have to pay child support to that person.
Yes, you will have to file for a change in the order but you can get it end if your child gets married. If they are in college and get married, that eliminates your duties of paying child support in most states.
Talk to a social worker.AnswerWell, you tell both your parents together as to why you do not want to go their anymore. I don't know why you don't want to see your dad, unless he is mistreating you, you only have one father and once he's gone that's it. If there is a problem that can be fixed by them do it, if not say your peace and at your age you shouldn't be forced to go anymore, don't forget the child support thing, too.

Child support does not depend upon the legal relationship of the parents - instead, it is based upon the relationship between the parent and the child. Thus, parents who are unmarried are still parents and have the same parental rights and obligations to their children as a married or divorced couple would.
You are basically funding two households with what used to support one. But, you will do fine by cutting back. Child support will not provide the entire living--the custodial parent does need to work in order to provide for necessities. The focus should be on providing stability for the children--many parents do get sidetracked on the feelings that are generated from going through a divorce.
