It depends on the needs and preferences of the obligor. Some people like to take care of financial obligations all at once rather than remembering regular payments.
You must keep very good records (and proof of payment with the dates listed) so that anything you pay over the weekly or monthly amounts is not considered a gift.You should consult with your attorney. You may be able to have an agreement drafted to cover your proposal.
He would no longer be obligated to pay support.
yes
no
Child support is to provide for children not living with you, it would be assumed if you are living with your child that you are supporting them - take it up with your local child support board.
In theory the women should now be paying for there percentage of the keep of the child that is no longer living with the women, so yes she should pay child support now.
Most definitely! There would be absolutely no excuse for someone not paying child support, if it is not paid legal actions can be taken.
Yes. They would use his past income information to determine what he should have been paying for child support. That would then be added to his arrears.
She's not doing it, the state is. She gave up the claim when she applied for the benefits, and yes, up to the limit that you would normally be paying in child support for that time frame. Why didn't you file a voluntary order if she never filed? see links below
Superficially yes. But if someone is still paying child support then they also have custody by rights. Though you would have full and the person paying it would have some time with the child typically
How would you know they weren't. See link
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
No, as the obligor has passed away. You would need to apply for Social Security Child Benefits.
