Women have the same obligation to support their children as men if the child does not reside with them. Parents are responsible for the financial support of their children. For example, the child may reside with the biological father or another relative. In that case, the mother would be responsible for paying child support if the court entered a child support order.

∙ 12y agoWomen already do pay child support. It's about where the children lives. If the father have custody, the major part or all, she will pay. It's just not as common as the mother having it. And child support is just a small part of what it costs to take care of a child so whoever the child lives with, is already paying most and in most cases that is the woman.

How do i submit a form for back pay child support if im the child but grew up?
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.

When a child is being kept by the grandparent is the grandparent's income used when calculating the father's child support payments?
The parents are responsible for child support, not the grandparents. If the grandmother has legal custody the child support payments should go directly to her via a court order. All states in the US have child support guidelines, based on income and other factors, that must be used to calculate what the non-custodial parent(s) must pay.It should be noted that if the child lives with her grandparent that grandparent is already contributing to the child's support above and beyond the payments made by the parent(s). Child support payments rarely amount to enough to completely support the child.

Does child support continue when said child is sixteen years old and has run away from home?
It depends on the how the support was laid out legally. You should check your local laws because it also depends where you are located and the age of majority there - support usually stops when the child has reached age of majority unless otherwise stated by both parties. Now, again checking your local laws, if the child is no longer residing with the person that is receiving the support payments the support payments should no longer have to be made. Child support payments are paid to support a child.
What does the child have to do to receive child support if the child is going to college?
