Not normally. In Pennsylvania, discovery is only permitted with special order of the court. My children's father was successful in getting the courts permission for discovery. I think the lawyer just wants to maximize billable hours. His attorney kept stating it is a complex case and asking for continuances in addition to discovery. So the court ordered us to testify solely by deposition, because the normal child support hearing is de novo, only about 10 minutes is available.

Depositions are not typically part of child support hearings. Child support matters are usually addressed through paperwork and court appearances, where parties present evidence and testimony to determine the appropriate support amount.

Can grandparents get child support for letting a runaway child live with them?

In most cases, grandparents cannot receive child support for letting a runaway child live with them unless they have legal custody or guardianship of the child. Child support is typically paid to the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the child. Grandparents can seek legal custody or guardianship through the court system to potentially become eligible for child support.


Is there a law that states that a custodial parent whom receives child support must have that child living with them in their custody?

In many jurisdictions, the custodial parent is expected to have the child living with them in order to receive child support. If the child is not in the custodial parent's care, the non-custodial parent may request a modification of the child support agreement. Each state may have specific laws regarding this issue, so it is important to consult with a legal professional for guidance.


Does the child have to have the fathers last name to get child support?

No, a child does not need to have the father's last name to receive child support. Child support is determined based on the responsibility to financially support a child, regardless of the child's last name.


If a 17 year old moves out of parent's house and lives with a friend then turns 18 can the friend collect child support from the 18 year old's parent since the 18 year old is still in school?

No, a friend cannot collect child support from the 18-year-old's parent. Child support is typically paid to the custodial parent or legal guardian of a minor child, not to a friend. Since the 18-year-old is now considered an adult, they would be responsible for their own support.


Is a father legally obligated to pay for child support all the way through college?

It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.
