No. If the mother has full custody, the father must pay child support to the mother who is supporting the child. Put simply, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the parent who does have custody.

If the custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent, the court will not order the non-custodial parent to pay the custodial parent. There are formulas for each state and county that the courts follow. There are also circumstances that do not follow typical guidlines.

This would depend on a lot of factors. What the mother makes, if she has partial custody, how much the father makes. All this should be decided in court. The father can of course take the mother to court and sue for child support, but it would be up to a judge if you get it.

Both kids live with us i have custody of only one she will not give up custody of the other to avoid child support she lives in a different state can i get custody with out risking losing my child?

If the child lives with you for six months, you can register jurisdiction in your state, if it's not already there, than file for a change of custody due to long term possession. It's not likely she will be ordered to pay child support, only 7 out of 1000 mothers do. To learn what to do, check Dads House below.


What can you do if you know a parent receiving child support but doesn't have custody of the children?

Encourage the person or persons with legal custody to file for child support modification or diversion of funds to them. If they do not have legal custody, that must be established or child support will continue to go to the person of record, the parent, in this case.
