The court may order either or both parents to support a child in the manner specified by the order:
(1) until the child is 18 years of age or until graduation from high school, whichever occurs later;
(2) until the child is emancipated through marriage, through removal of the disabilities of minority by court order, or by other operation of law;
(3) until the death of the child or a parent ordered to pay child support; or
(4) if the child is disabled as defined in this chapter, for an indefinite period.

In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.

Currently, nothing specific. After all, the parent paying child support is still the child's parent and obligated to support her. Only five states specifically take it into consideration.

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.

Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.

The parent in possession can file for it.
Does the parent who has custody ever have to pay the noncustodial parent support?
Alimony to the non-custodial parent may still be ordered; depends on the circumstances. Child support payments are based on both the needs of the child and the ability of the parent to provide them.
