This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for this is the mother still has bills that are keeping the house and such for the child to come back too. The only way a father will not have to pay is if the court order says that during summer possession the father does not have to pay child support, but normally in this case the mother would not be obligated to pay child support to the father. However in the end, people should do what is best for the children and not worry about the dollars they receive or don't receive.

Yes, all parents are responsible for the financial support of their children. The mother can and should petition the court at any time for a child support order. "Helping" is not considered paying child support which is a weekly obligation that the parent with physical custody can depend upon and figure into the budget. Every parent should help to raise the child. If there is a child support order the father must pay the amount ordered. He cannot deduct any amount for "help" with other things. He needs to maintain proof that he is paying his child support obligations regularly.

The court that issued the order has jurisdiction but moving can complicate the situation. You should consult with an attorney or some other child support enforcement specialist. Courts will enforce child support orders from other states however, with reduced staff, it may be difficult to find that kind of support.
