The courts will not enforce such an agreement, it would be contrary to public policy.
Not if no order was in place.
Whether or not the child is attending school does not relieve one from their court ordered responsibility to provide child support. The only possible way this may apply is if that was specifically written into the divorce decree settlement papers and the court judge approved it.
Child support ends in Texas when the child reaches age 18 or graduates from high school (so long as the child is a full-time student), whichever is later. Texas divorce and paternity decrees can be quite lengthy, but the decree should set out when child support ends.
No, it doesn't; you have to file to terminate it. In my case, my son turned 18 while he was still in high school. The court order stated that support was to continue until he turned 18, or left high school, which ever was later. Even after graduation, child support payments continued until I filed proof with the court that he had graduated.
Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies. see links below
Yes, you go back into family court.
From Minnesota's Child Support website: When does a child support order end? Usually a support order ends when the child turns 18 or completes secondary school, but not later than when the child reaches age 20. However, parents can negotiate a court order that provides for support to continue later, such as through college education. Support can continue indefinitely for a child incapable of self-support because of a physical or mental condition. Minn. Stat. § 518A.26, subd. 5. Parents should be aware that privately negotiated agreements can be altered by the court if the court determines the agreement is not in the best interests of the child.
It depends upon the state you live in and what their laws are regarding modification of child support. In Texas, for example, you would need to file a modification of child support.
I suppose the parents could agree on child support without going to court; however, I would counsel against it. From the obligee's perspective, such an agreement is probably not enforceable, and as for the obligor, such an agreement would not preclude the obligee from going to court later.
It will need to be modified, but if he goes on SSD, there's a separate child benefit check. If SSI, no as SSI is not attachable for child support, so the obligation will be suspended.
If the child is definitely yours, then certainly.

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. However, a court can order the obligation to continue for an indefinite period if the child is disabled. A child will automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies. see links
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.

Yes, but it can be considered a gift by the court, with retroactive support ordered later. In Ohio, it is specifically designated as such under rule of law. Anything paid prior to the court order would not be counted as "support payment".
Probably not, some US states do allow child support arrearages to be paid after the order is granted but it is contingent on the specifics of each case. The court will want a complete explanation of why a support order was not pursued at the birth of the child or shortly there after, rather then years later. If the reason is something such as the father could not be located arrearages might be granted.
