No. Any support received after your 18 still goes to your custodial parent because it is an arrearage (past due child support) that is owed to them from non-payment over the years. However, you should let your custodial parent know that child support can be extended if u are a full time college student until you're 19 1/2.

No, child support checks are not legally considered the property of the child. The checks are intended to support the child's needs until they reach the age of majority or until a court orders otherwise. The recipient of the child support payments (usually the custodial parent) is responsible for spending the funds in the best interest of the child.

If the child is biologically yours you cannot get out of child support. Why would you not want to take care of your child? And if the isn't yours i think u should still treat it like it was yours!!

You are not legally required to support a child that isn't yours, but you would have to get the court that ordered the paternity payment to reverse its decision, you can't just do it for them.
Your ex girlfriend will not give you access to your daughter and will not undergo a DNA test?
Two choices. A): Get a lawyer. B): bribe her with child support money. If the kid is yours, legally you can't be denied rights if you're paying child support.
When filing for a divorce can the court make you pay child support for a child that's not yours?
If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.
In Pennsylvania if you sign over your parental rights to the child's mother do you still have to pay child support when the baby is born?
You might. There are two different concepts going on here. One is parental rights; you can sign those away because they're yours. The other is the child's rights. You can't sign those away because they're not yours, and the child can't sign them away because as a minor he or she is legally incompetent. One of the child's rights is the right to support. If the child's mother is supporting the child fine on her own, she's not legally obligated to seek support from you, so you might not ever have to pay support. If the child's mother's situation changes so that she's no longer able to support the child on her own, you might wind up having to pay child support. If she's on any form of government assistance, the government may insist upon it.
If you have a DNA test that proves that the child you pay support for is not biologicaly yours how do you get them to stop taking child support payments from my checks?
You should contact a lawyer for professional advice. This makes it official and it can be proven that you did pay in the first place. Another reason to contact a lawyer is because you have been led to believing that this child was biologically yours, and you willingly paid money for it, then your lawyer MAY be able to get some of your money back.
If the father is giving child support to one child from another woman and you get child support from him how does that work?
Not sure what context you mean, but simply he makes out two separate checks and sends them to the state colleciton unit for your state and they are applied to their respective cases. Yours and hers. Same is true for wage garnishments. Good luck
