Child support criteria can vary greatly depending on several factors. Things like what country or state you live in as well as you income can impact the amount of child support that is in question.

How old does your child have to be before child support can stop being paid in Oregon?

In Oregon, children are eligible for child support until they reach the age of 21, but special criteria apply for the continuance of child support between the ages of 18 and 21. For child support to be continued during that time period, the child must qualify as a "child attending school" (be unmarried and be enrolled as a half-time or full time student). If the child does not attend school beyond the age of 18, child support is generally terminated when they reach that age, if support is up to date or continued until all arrears are satisfied.


In Massachusetts can the new spouse's income determine child support?

Not currently under statutory provisions, but can be introduced as a potential argument as a part of a Rebuttable Presumption. But, this is a two way street and can also apply to an S/O. Even when considered, it is limited to reducing potential adjustments due to a lose of earnings by the either parent, resulting from a layoff.

Can you charge your first cousin child support?

Yes. If the the first cousin is one of the parents of the child and has a job but refuses to pay for food and clothing, and you are caring for the child, you qualify to file for child support. You may not be able to marry the first cousin as that is illegal in some but not all jurisdictions, but you can file for child support.


Can an emancipated child collect child support?

No. That is the whole point and one of the criteria required when you apply - you have to be able to support yourself like all emancipated adults. In some states the emancipation can be undone and you have to move back home if you can not care for yourself.


Child Support Review Letter?

Get StartedA Child Support Review Letter is used to request a review of a current child support obligation. In most jurisdictions there is either a state child support enforcement unit or a local non-profit organization that will conduct a free review of the current child support obligation. The criteria to qualify for a free review varies by jurisdiction, but typically include at least 2 years having passed since the current support amount was established or proof of a significant change that would substantially change the current support amount.Your request letter should include as many facts as possible to prove the necessity of the review including any change in employment, salary or pay changes, changes in the number of minors or custody changes.


Can a father still claim his child on his income tax if the father is now in prison?

Generally, no because he would no longer be providing support for the child nor sharing a household, but there might be cases where the child would still qualify as a dependent for tax purposes. Usually someone else would qualify to claim the child instead.


If the child is 19 and moves from the custodial parents residence does the child still qualify for support.?

It depends on the State, but I would have to say NO they no longer qualify for support. You need to file a modification with the courts showing the persons Birth Certificate and/or a High School Diploma, GED/HSED, and if you have proof of the persons new residence, i.e. landlord, roomate, etc.... Hope that helps. ---- In most states, even without the move, child support has stopped. see related links.

Does the mother qualify for child support if she works?

Parents have to pay child support if they are not the custodial parent of a child under 18--or still going to school. By law. There is not really any qualifying involved. Of course, the mother might waive payments if she chooses, but that is outside of the other parent's control.


The fed govt will not generally qualify an 18 year old as independent but child support enforcement ends at 18 in NC so how do you get child support help for college?

You don't. As you stated, in NC you cannot get child support past 18 (unless the non-custodial parent voluntarily agrees to pay it). What the child needs to do is file for financial aid based on the custodial parent's income. If they don't qualify for financial aid, they get a loan or a job (I worked full time while attending college full time for 4 years--it can be done).
