If joint custody papers were signed stating no child support and your ex has the child only on weekends, it may be difficult to receive child support. However, you can consult with a family law attorney to explore potential legal options based on your specific circumstances.

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.

In setting child support, this is a deductible item in all states, that should have been taken into consideration. If not, you can request a modification. see links below
