In the US at least, child support and visitation are independant. A parent is still liable for child support all the way until the child reaches the age of majority, even if the parent has no intention of ever seeing the child.
I would check the local laws - In Minnesota, the custodial parent must have permission from the non- custodial parent to move out of state.
Actually, the overpayment is considered a gift, and generally is not recoverable, so yes.

If the child's RSDI benefit is based on the obligor's SSA account, it is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
I'm pretty sure it is because my dad did that for four years and they considered it abandonment.
In Ohio it is considered abandonment if a child is neglected or suffers physical or mental injury by a parent. It is also abandonment if a parent leaves their child for any period of time without any support, money, or communication.
The new husband is not responsible for the NCP's unpaid child support.
Abandonment of a child is defined in Arizona Revised Statute Section 8-201(1) as failing to supervise or support a child with the intent to allow that neglect to go on for an indefinite time. If this form of neglect continues for a period of six months the statute presumes the parent has abandoned the child. However courts will consider certain extenuating circumstances on the part of the parent accused of child abandonment before making a final determination. Consult an attorney specializing in family law for more information.
That's up to the judge, but generally is only applicable when a father gets custody while owing, as only 7 out of 1000 mothers pay support to custodial fathers.
Missouri's legal statutes do not specify a period of time when abandonment occurs, however most judges in that state concur that abandonment has occurred when the non-custodial parent has left the child and provided no means of support for the child for a period of six months. In those cases, the non-custodial parent may petition the court for termination of parental rights of the non-custodial parent. However, if the other parent contests the petition, then you are unlikely to prevail since the courts prefer that both parents are part of the child's life. The best course of action is probably to go through the normal process of filing a motion with the court to establish child support and visitation. Then you can receive support for your child and have scheduled visitation set up. If the parent has no interest in the child then he is unlikely to even use the visitation.
You file for custody as the child should be living with one of them. The custodial parent can be charged with abandonment. if the child has married, get the support stopped, or have the child emancipated.
