Does relinquishing parental rights stop child support in Alabama?
If you relinquish your parental rights, you are still not going to get child support payments. The child support is for the child.
My child support payments stopped because my daughter turned 18 she is now thinking on going to college what is the time period before child support payments start again?
In most states, the child support will automatically begin again once she has started school. You should expect the child support to begin within 2 weeks of her school start date.
Can i stop child support payments if both children are 18 or older one just got married and doesnt live at home anymore the other is 20 and has a lease on his own apartment and has had it for 6 months?
Marriage of the child is a valid reason to not have to pay child support. If the other child is a fulltime student, you will still need to contribute to his well being. To stop child support payments, you will need to go to the court and petition for the release of your responsibility. Just stopping payments is not going to do the trick in the long run.
Can child support be stopped if the child is under 18 but no longer going to school or living with the custodial parent?
That depends on the child support order. In most places, child support continues until the child reaches the age of majority. Some may require continued payments through the college years if they attend.
Does the mother qualify for child support if she works?
Parents have to pay child support if they are not the custodial parent of a child under 18--or still going to school. By law. There is not really any qualifying involved. Of course, the mother might waive payments if she chooses, but that is outside of the other parent's control.
In Mississippi can you pay child support directly to your daughter who will be going away to college instead of sending the payments to her mother?
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.
Do you have to go to court to stop child support when a child is over 18?
No because it will automatically be stopped. Upon the child reaching 18 and graduating the child support offices will send out a letter to the parent whom is receiving child support for the child letting them know that the child support payments are about to end...But it also give them 30 days to reply to the letter saying that the child is going to continue their education, then you still would have to pay to help them with tuition and other fees so actually if your child goes to college you are going to be paying it until they graduate then it ends for good unless you owe back pay!
Can child support payments be reduced due to unemployment?
I just went through this situation and the answer is you dont! Sucks...yes but as the judge looks at it you cant get blood from a stone. Now his payments will back up and when he does start working again he will owe you all that back support and you can also try FRO. They will take his Tax returns and give them to you in lu of payments. Child support can be garnished from unemployment benefits - contact your State's child support agency. Be patient but persistent. Good luck!
Can a mother still get child support payments if a court order has been put in for it to stop going to her and go towards arrears?
The court order controls until/unless it is modified.
If a man is paying child support for his 17 year old son is he allowed to give his son the child support money or does he have to give it to the mother of the child?
This would depend on a variety of things. It depends on the laws where you are located as well as the way your child support payments were laid out when given. There are situations where that has happened however, the purpose for child support is to pay to support the child with living (rent, food etc. ). If there is a reason you feel that your money is not going to provide the necessities for your child and being spent else you should go to your lawyer to discuss this situatio further. Also, most child support stops at the time your child turns the age of majority unless stated otherwise in your custody/support payments. I realize this may not directly answer your question but situations such as this vary from situation to situation - it is all individual - the best thing you could do is speak with your lawyer concerning this matter.
If the mother of a child took the father off child support can they put him back on?
The only time you can take a father off of child support is if the mother agrees with it, but that rarely happens, so I'm going to have to say no, it's very rare, the closest you can get to not paying AT ALL, is reducing the pay .
In california when do they stop going after back child support?
Child support arrears do not expire until they are paid.
