Be prepared to pay. Children are legally entitled to the financial support of both parents. Even if the custodial parent doesn't "need" the money, it should be placed in a bank account for the child to be used for college, career training, a car, etc.

If custodial parent deviated from original child support amount can she increase the support later?
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
Can a non custodial parent be required to pay child support 31 years later?
Only past-due support (support that accrued during the child's minority).
Is it state law that a parent HAS TO pay child support when the other parent tells the judge that they do not want or need it?
No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
If you were an unmarried single parent and later got married. Does this affect the child support order with the non custodial parent?
It will probably depend on the court order or agreement that sets up the rules for child support in your case. If there is not a court order, then there really is not any enforcement of non-payment available to you. Most states have a formula per child that the non-custodial parent pays toward child support. In Texas, it was 25% of the non-custodial parent's income per child--not really with any consideration of which person made the most money. (disclaimer: this is information based on experience, not a law degree!)
How do you terminate child support if you are a non custodial parent?
Some options to consider: The primary way to avoid child support is to be diligent about contraception. Do not have children you do not want to support. If the child is adopted by another adult who is willing to step in as parent the non-custodial parent can give up their parental rights. The specific arrangements for child support are initially set by the court and can be later modified by the court. Avoiding the obligation entirely is probably not going to happen, but if you are in severe hardship you may be able to get the amount of support reduced.
If you did not request child support at the time of the order can you collect it later?
Yes, once paternity of the child has been established the custodial parent can file suit for child support at any time until the child reaches the legal age of majority and in a few exceptional cases after that time. The majority of US states do, however, have a statute of limitations relating to the amount of time the custodial parent has to file to collect support arrearages.
When a custodial parent chooses not to receive child support can they ask for back child support years later?
It is unlikely that this would be regarded as a reasonable request. PROVIDED the previous agreement (choice) can be proved. However they could ask for it going forward.
Can you cancel child support then refile?
In the United States, once a Family Court has ruled on child support, you are required to pay that amount even if you are disputing or filing for a re-adjustment. That is, you will owe the amount the Court has dictated up to the point where it issues a new settlement order. You CANNOT stop payments while refiling. If the question revolves around the custodial parent filing for child support, then yes, it is entirely possible for that parent to file with the Court to terminate the non-custodial parent's child support requirement, but at a later time, re-file with the Court to require the non-custodial parent to restart payments (the new payments will be determined according to circumstances at the time of the refiling, not automatically being set to the old amounts).
Is it kidnapping if a parent takes a child abroad if they are the resident parent?
To take a Minor child abroad with intent to reside abroad without the consent of the non custodial parent would constitute kidnapping. A vacation is not a change of residence and therefore is not disallowed. Permission should be obtained from the non custodial parent in writing to prevent any misunderstandings later.
What can you do to keep the custodial parent from moving out of state with your child?
This is definitely a matter that needs to be discussed with an attorney. If there is already a child support and visitation order in place the custodial parent will need to file a motion to get the court's permission to move the child out of state. The court will make a determination that is in the best interest of the child. It will consider how visitations will be arranged and how they will be paid for so as not to cause financial hardship for the non-custodial parent. If there is no prior court order and the non-custodial parent has not been paying child support nor spending time with the child the custodial parent can try relocating. However, there is always the chance the non-custodial parent will seek rights and it may be more expensive later on to address this issue. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in family law in your state who can review your situation and explain your options.
What if there is a court order where the other parent is to see the child weekly and hasn't seen him in 6 weeks?
Does the court order actually state that the non-custodial parent is obligated (not just allowed) to see the child weekly? (This would be unusual, to say the least. Making child support payments is mandatory. Visitation is almost alwaysoptional.)If so, the non-custodial parent is in violation of the court order. Report it to the court.If not, then ... nothing, that's what. Nothing illegal is happening. No part of the court order is being violated. Every provision in there remains in force, and if the non-custodial parent decides later to start exercising the weekly visitation privileges, then he or she has the legal right to do so.
How do you give full rights and custody to the other parent with no strings attached no visitation no child support etc?
Properly, it should be done by means of a certified mediator who would create a document that can than be filed with the court. Your cost would be around $300, each. Though there will no no strings attached, as you say, these issues still need to be covered in the document. ---- It should also be register with the court, otherwise it has no legal standing should the custodial parent want child support later, retroactive. Also, if the parent goes on Welfare, registered or or not, they can override and go after the other parent for support, retroactive.
