The child support money is part of a court order between your two parents, for your benefit. It is up to them. If you are still in school at eighteen and not employed full time, your custodial parent may still receive support.

Do you have to pay back child support if you turn over your rights?

What happens if the state takes back custody of a child and puts the child in foster care because the mother has no parental rights but pays child support?

Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.


Can you give up your rights to the child to stop support after 18?

My daughter turns 18 this month. I do not owe back pay or arrears. I have fulfilled my court orders for child support and full medical coverage. I do not have a relationship, just this year she contacted me as a senior. I'm a simple person married with my wife and daughter. I recently received a letter to appear in court to review orders. Mother is out to get more money. Can I terminate parental rights after once she turns 18?Giving up your parental rights does not mean you can stop paying child support. You still have to support your child until she is emancipated and in most places she is at 18. So now it depends on what the law says where you live and what your child support agreement says. In some states you have to pay until the child is out of school. If you want child support to end you have to turn to the court.


Can you take rights away from their dad for not paying child suppot and not seeing them in three years?

You can turn to the court for that, only they can do this. If he has not paid child support in 3 years you should have turned to the court 3 years ago. Paying child support is not a choice and they can take it straight out of his wagers.

At what age is child support stopped for a child?

Most times the agreement is that the child will be supported through college. If they turn 18 and do not continue with school, then child support ends.


If you started a case of child support a year before they turn 18 after they turn 18 does the case end?

No, The issue of past due child support will still be needed to be dealt with as well as future support if the child goes to college or any secondary school.


If the father of a child is illegal in the states and owes for child support what will happen to him if he don't want to pay me?

I would turn him in to INS and have him taken to court for child support


If arrears is still owed once the child turns 18 will child support payments continue until the arrears is paid off?

It all depends on WHO the arrears are being paid to. If the father was paying support directly to the mother, the back support/arrears would go to the mother. The support was never owed to the child, who has no standing in it. The payments are supposed to assist the mother by helping her to raise the child until the legal age of adulthood or whatever age was specified in the support decree. The support money belongs to her and if she chooses to turn it over to the child that his her business. Legally, the child has no claim on it. ON THE OTHER HAND: If the arrears are being paid to the state - the father is simply reimbursing the state for spending taxpayers money to support her for all the time he did not pay, and neither the mother nor the child has any claim on it.


If your child turn's 18 does she have to file for child support if she goes to college?

Who has the power to overturn court ordered child support?

Who has the power to over turn a court ordered child support payment?


If she owes child support to someone else can she take you out for child support?

Technically each case stands on its own. Thus, she can sue you for child support. And you can in turn report her for not paying. She should be easy to find then.
