If your child is a convicted felon do you have to pay childsupport?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, this depends on gender. Hen mothers lose their parental rights, usually due to a conviction of child abuse, than no. But, when that happens to a father, than yes. Even in cases where the single mother loses her rights, the child is placed in foster care, and the father pays child support without having access rights, though he was not involved in the abuse. That's the case with a KCMO father right now who daughter called him when her mother killed his son last May. The girl is in foster care 250 miles from here and he's paying for it. For three years he's been trying to get custody due to her mental illness which has been documented by the police.

Answer 2

It would be unheard of (I hope) for an unemancipated child to be convicted of a felony. But you still owe any unpaid support that accrued when the child was a minor.
