No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

Can the custodial parent stop the back pay you owe in child support?
It depends on the state you live in. Some states allow the custodial parent to opt out of child support. Other states don't give you that option, and will collect the child support even if the custodial parent refuses to accept it.
How is support figured when the Non custodial parent is also the non custodial parent for 2 other families?
Support for the oldest non-custodial child is a percentage of the non-custodial parent's net income. For the next oldest non-custodial child, the NCP's income is reduced by the amount of support ordered and actually paid for the older child, and so forth.
Do you still pay support to the custodial parent if your child has been taken away and placed in the care of a guardian?
In this case the other parent is no longer the custodial parent. If the child is now staying with another guardian, they are now considered the custodial guardian and child support should be paid to them.
Does a non custodial parent still have to pay child support when the custodial parent is in jail?
Yes, unless the non-custodial parent gets custody. In that case the non-custodial parent must file a motion to terminate the child support order. The child support should be paid to whoever has custody of the child. If it's not the non-custodial parent then the child support order should be modified to reflect the party that should receive the child support payments. You have to pay for your child so you have to pay to the one who has custody while the other parent is in prison. If the state has custody you will pay the state.
Is it illegal to make the custodial parent pay child support?
It's rare for the custodial parent to have to pay child support, but it does happen. It usually only occurs in one of three situations: 1. The custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent. 2. Parenting time is split 50/50 (or close to it). Or 3. The non-custodial parent is paying additional expenses for the child, such as high health-care premiums or child care costs. Your state may have other exceptions to the rule, but yes, exceptions do exist and the custodial parent is sometimes required to pay child support to the non-custodial parent.
Can a lien be placed on the non custodial parent's car for back child support?
Yes. The custodial parent and/or if involved state child support enforcement agency can sue for child support arrearages. If a judgment is granted it can be executed as a lien against the non custodial parents vehicle or other property.
Can you get more child support if other parent doesnt see child?
In general, child support is based on ability to pay, not other factors such as whether the non-custodial parent is involved in the child's life.
Can you get child support from the spouse of a non custodial parent?
No. Other people have no obligation to pay for a child that is not theirs.
