The non-custodial parent must follow the child support order until it has been modified by the court. That parent can visit the court and file for a modification due to the change in circumstances. However, the court is not likely to change an order while the child is still attending high school. You should visit the court and ask to speak with a clerk or advocate.
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
The living parent may still be ordered to pay support. Why doesn't the living parent have custody? see link below
Your parent would file for child support from the other parent and you would be living with them.
No. Child support arrears are owed to the parent.
no
When states determine the amount of child support a parent must pay they do not necessarily factor in the cost of living. The basis for support is determined primarily of the needs of the child, the income of each parent, the ability for the non-custodial parent to pay and the standard of living the child was accustomed to prior to the divorce or separation.
No. You have remember that "support" is what the (usually) father pays the mother for the upkeep of the child. If the child moves out, the mother is no longer supporting the child and the father no longer needs to pay her.
You must obey the child support order as long as it is in effect and until it has been modified by a court. A child may be in college. The child support payments must continue to be made to the custodial parent as provided in the child support order.
No. Once a child is legally emancipated, the parent is no longer obligated to pay child support.
Not really the Judge will decide this matter for you.
If you're the parent, and the child isn't living with you, then you pay child support - unless the child has been legally adopted.
A minor child should not be living on their own. If the child has been legally emancipated the parent may be excused from paying child support. Otherwise, they will be assessed if the custodial parent files a petition for child support with the court. At that time the fact of the child living on their own can be brought to the attention of the court.A minor child should not be living on their own.
