If you are ordered to pay child support through the court are you able to change the amounts and pay directly to the other parent and still get credit for paying your obligation even if it is less?

No. The terms of the support order have to be met as designated by the court or the obligated parent can find themselves in serious legal difficulty, including but not limited to being cited for contempt of court for failure to obey a direct order of the court.

How do the courts figure out who pays child support?
This presents an interesting aspect of child support. A sole custodial father, who earns substantially more than the mother can still be ordered to pay child support. In general, it is the parent without primary custody or residency of the children. However, in cases where the state has custody, this is not always evenly applied. Legally, unless the children are receiving AFDC, there is no overriding obligation to order child support, however it is always beneficial that some amount be ordered. Also, the guideline amounts are not mandatory.

Do you still have to pay child support if your x wife leaves the state?
You have to pay child support until otherwise ordered by the court. If your ex left the state with the court's permission or it was not required, you have no recourse. If you live in a state where the ex has an obligation to notify you or the court that she is moving and takes the child and she failed to do this, you do have the right to file a motion against her for contempt of court. That, however, has nothing to do with your support obligation although it may be modified if you have to spend your own money to maintain visitation with your child. But again, any modification to support would be court ordered not something you decide on your own.
