The payments need to go through the courts, else they are not noted as following court orders. If the child is living elsewhere, then try to get the court ruling amended so that you are on the right side of the decree.
If approved, but a dumb idea. see link
DO NOT ever pay child support to the mother or the child. Pay it through the courts or the State Disbursement Unit.
Under the Divorce Act, child support payments are typically made to the other parent, not directly to the child. If one parent wants to give child support directly to the minor child, they should discuss this with the other parent and try to come to an agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may need to be resolved through a court or through mediation.
Don't ever send child support payments directly to anyone! Send them through your State's disbursement unit or the courts, and age 21 is the cutoff age.
Only with the approval of child support enforcement or the courts.
If you do not live with the child or directly support them you do.
He owes you child support (or to the State, if the child is receiving cash assistance). But he should be paying that through the MS disbursement unit, not to you directly.
Pay your child support.
The terms of the support order dictate to whom and for how long the alloted amount should be rendered. If the order does not contain such specifics, the support money can be sent to the child if said child has reached the age of majority for the state of residence.
No, but your mother can as long as she filed a petition for child support and he did not pay.Child support goes to the parent to use for the child's expenses, and not paid directly to the child.
You cannot pay child support directly to your children. It usually stops at 18 but differs slightly between states and can be prolonged if the child is in college. You need to check your particular child support order, separation agreement and state law. Child support is paid to the custodial parent and not the child. After 18, and usually when the child is attending college, the parents may be able to have the support order modified to be paid to the child if they both agree.
Pay your child support instead of going on a cruise.
