no is not you dumboos
this is definitely child abandonment and should have been reported to the authorities immediately.
It runs until age 18
I meant to say "from the other parent" not "for the other parent"
After a child turns 18, the parent has no further parentel obligations.
You can't just "drop out" you have to actually fill out/sign a document.
Yes child support is paid until the child is 18 and in some states until they are 21.
If the child is actively pursuing the GED, you may still have to pay since he is still in school. Get legal advice.
of course you still have to pay child support, that child came from YOUR loins. You are responsible for providing for that child, even if you choose not to be in their life. Maybe if you stuck around they wouldn't have dropped out to begin with. Just saying..
If a parent drops a child support claim and the award is reversed through the courts, yes any amount that is over due is considered to be in arrears and is still owed.
The parents would still be legally bound to provide for the wayward child and her child until 18. The sperm donor would be required to pay child support.School is a non issue.
Until the child is 18, yes.
You'll need to take it through the courts so that you do not become delinquent in payments. This is your child, and you should also make extra effort to get the child back to school or to pass a GED. Just part of parenting, even though the custodial parent may not be at all cooperative.
