Child support is not discharged in bankruptcy. However, there is sometimes a temporary hold on collecting any debt. And if the obligor has filed bankruptcy, it seems likely that he doesn't have money for child support.


Does the father have the right to know where child support is going in Illinois?

No. Sad but true. The parent receiving the support does not have to provide proof of how it is being spent. Child support is in place to help house, feed, clothe and educate the child. If it pays an electric bill, then that is what it pays.


What does the child have to do to receive child support if the child is going to college?

It depends on your state. It depends on the agreement for child support that was made. Some support the child through high school or age 18 only. Otherwise, the parents have a choice as to the level of support they will provide.


MY adult child is 18 and graduating this June you live in PA they are going to bank her diploma so she can still go to school her mother is receiving SSI for her do you still have to pay child support?

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support is removed from disability status by a court order. I don't know what bank her diploma means, nor can I find a reference. See links below for more on child support.

My child support payments stopped because my daughter turned 18 she is now thinking on going to college what is the time period before child support payments start again?

In most states, the child support will automatically begin again once she has started school. You should expect the child support to begin within 2 weeks of her school start date.


Do you have to pay child support on your seventeen year son when your daughter is eighteen and going to college?

This depends on what it is you're asking. Does you state require support beyond high school? If it does, than make a request to child support enforcement to split the payment so that part if it can go to her, directly. See link for laws on child support beyond high school. If child support does not extend beyond high school, you will need to do a modification. see related question.


Do you have to go to court to stop child support when a child is over 18?

No because it will automatically be stopped. Upon the child reaching 18 and graduating the child support offices will send out a letter to the parent whom is receiving child support for the child letting them know that the child support payments are about to end...But it also give them 30 days to reply to the letter saying that the child is going to continue their education, then you still would have to pay to help them with tuition and other fees so actually if your child goes to college you are going to be paying it until they graduate then it ends for good unless you owe back pay!


I am on Diability and recently receiving back child support and my son is almost 30 yrs old. And i want the child support to be going to my son.How do I find an attorney to change the back child support to go in his name?

Child support and child support arrears are paid to the parent of the child. If you are still receiving arrears after all these years, you might consider visiting the county attorney where you live and filing aginst your son's father. Depending on how much is owed, there are several actions that can be taken, including suspension of driving privileges, attachment of assets, property liens, and incarceration. In the meantime, however, the funds must come to you directly and cannot be sent to your son.
