depending on what area the chiild lives, in most places child support stops at 18 if the child is not in school.
Child support in the state of California continues until the child stops going to school. including college.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No, as long as the money paid is going to the house where the child lives then you can not get into trouble at all. However, if the child and her mother are receiving any form of state assistance you and the mother could get into trouble for committing fraud.
18. Child support is for children, ie. under 18 years of age...unless they have not graduated high school.
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.
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.
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!
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.
In 20 states, yes. see link.
