Not normally. In Pennsylvania, discovery is only permitted with special order of the court. My children's father was successful in getting the courts permission for discovery. I think the lawyer just wants to maximize billable hours. His attorney kept stating it is a complex case and asking for continuances in addition to discovery. So the court ordered us to testify solely by deposition, because the normal child support hearing is de novo, only about 10 minutes is available.

Can grandparents get child support for letting a runaway child live with them?

In most cases, grandparents cannot receive child support for letting a runaway child live with them unless they have legal custody or guardianship of the child. Child support is typically paid to the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the child. Grandparents can seek legal custody or guardianship through the court system to potentially become eligible for child support.


Is there a law that states that a custodial parent whom receives child support must have that child living with them in their custody?

In order to receive child support and the whole idea and the point for receiving child support is because the child resides with the person that is receiving it. Now you may want to check your local laws incase for some reason they are different but yes the child must live with the person receiving the child support.


Does the child have to have the fathers last name to get child support?

I live in Missouri. My children have my last name (their father and I were never married) and I have a child support order in affect. Try contacting your local Child Support Enforcement agency for more information. That is how I went about getting an order. GOOD LUCK! It is a LOT of paper work, and a big headache, and everyone may have to do a DNA test, but if he helps pay for your kids to live, then it is all worth it... Just remember - wether they have his last name or not, he helped make them, and he should help pay for them... You do not get a break, so neither should he.


If a 17 year old moves out of parent's house and lives with a friend then turns 18 can the friend collect child support from the 18 year old's parent since the 18 year old is still in school?

The parents of a child do not have an obligation to pay child support to whoever the child decides to live with. Only if the court grants custody to another person and orders the parents to pay child support would an obligation arise.


Is a father legally obligated to pay for child support all the way through college?

It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.
