Does child support have to be paid if the child lives with neither parent but lives in a house owned by one parent?
Someone must have custody of a minor even if they do allow them to stay in another building owned by them. The parent with the custody get the child support to use for the child's expenses until they are 18 (in some states longer). If the "child" is 18 or over you have to check your child support agreement when you were supposed to stop and then apply in court to have it stopped. Child support does not stop until the child is emancipated either by age or the courts so they can care for themselves. Up until that moment it's paid to the parent and not the child directly.
