If I have custody of my child and don't receive child support and I allow my child to go live with his father is he entitled to child support?
He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.
If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
If you file for full custody in another state will you still receive your child support?
First, you cannot file in a new state unless you meet jurisdictional requirements, however the state where the other parent resides has jurisdiction on child support.
If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
Can a father claim a child on his taxes if he does not have custody or pay child support?

Will you receive more child support with sole custody as opposed to joint custody?
You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time. With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
Does a non custodial parent still have to pay child support when the custodial parent is in jail?
Yes, unless the non-custodial parent gets custody. In that case the non-custodial parent must file a motion to terminate the child support order. The child support should be paid to whoever has custody of the child. If it's not the non-custodial parent then the child support order should be modified to reflect the party that should receive the child support payments. You have to pay for your child so you have to pay to the one who has custody while the other parent is in prison. If the state has custody you will pay the state.

No. If there is a child support order that means a state court has jurisdiction over the child.

If a grandmother has the child and the parent did not sign custody papers can the grand parent file for child support in the state of North Carolina?
Yes who ever has the child legally can file for child support. But you have to demonstrate to the court that the child has been residing with you and you have the physical custody and you want to keep the physical custody and give the other parent visitation and joint legal custody. This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.

Child support laws vary from country to country, state to state etc. Quite often, even in a shared custody arrangement, the parent that earns more money may pay some child support to the other parent to equal out the living standards.
What is reasonable child support and allimony payments?
Half your income. The larger portion towards children. Keep in mind if you have massive deductions on your paycheck, they will reduce the amount YOU get as your CS/SS payments will be fixed. 401K will be split down the middle and all your accounts and property 50/50. But, if your wife/husband is a frivilous spender and has been bringing you to financial ruin for years, you will be better off financially AFTER he/she's out of your accounts.
Can a father of a child file for joint custody to avoid child support?
There are two types of custody, legal and physical.With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines. If the child spends equal time living with each parent the child support obligations will be effected. However, it is unfair to disrupt a child's life simply to avoid paying child support.

If both parents have custody of their children who pays?
If two parents share joint custody of a child, but one has physical custody, then the non-custodial parent usually pays child support to help the parent with whom the child lives. It depends on the laws of your state - most states now have an online child support calculator.
Is it legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in Texas?
No, because it is considered bribing, and even if you could, I doubt a parent would give up a child for money if they are suing or have custody in the first place. If you want said child, you can sue for custody of the child. If you cannot gain custody, then the next best thing to do is sue for visitation.It's not legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in any state! But if the parent in question has a child support award, he or she will be free of paying child support or being in any way responsible for the child from that day forward.
