Best Answer

It is illegal for a parent or guardian to fail to provide the necessities of life for those in their care. Of course, it is not illegal to threaten to do so, it is merely illegal to do it. We do not necessarily know how sincere those threats are, and parents resort to many different strategies in trying to control unruly children.

Do you have to pay child support if custodial parent receives food stamps?

Not to that parent. Any money must go to Welfare, so contact child support enforcement to get the money diverted. If you're paying without a court order, those are not considered child support. see links below Recipients of food stamps (now SNAP) and Medicaid do not assign their child support rights to the State - this happens only for recipients of cash assistance. In any case, do not give money directly to the custodial parent/obligee unless you're willing to write it off as a gift.


Are the children suppose to get money out of the child support the non custodial father pays?

Child support is the non-custodial parent's portion of the expenses of the child, including housing, food, clothing and so on. It is up to the custodial parent whether an "allowance" can be paid to the child from the child support amount.


Does your biological parent have rights to keep your deceased fathers child support to themselves?

The child support is paid to the parent, not the child, to pay for the expenses of the child. So as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back my guess is that the child support is being used correctly.


Does custodial parent have to provide phone service for child?

Absolutely not. Shelter, food and clothing basics are it. If the child wants phone service, he/she should go to work and earn the money. Or, if the non-custodial parent differs, and the custodial parent agrees, he can pay for it.
