Does a father still have to pay child support if the child support if the child no longer lives with the mother?

Answer 1

Yes, the father does have to pay child support married or not. As long as you ARE the father.

If the father is ordered to pay child support by the court, then that order stands until the child is emancipated or if the order is modified.

Answer 2

You would think the answer would be no, but there are many men in the U.S. who have been ordered to pay child support for children that aren't biologically theirs. For example: your girlfriend gives birth, believing that the child is yours, you sign an acknowledgment of paternity in order to have your name placed on the birth certificate as the father. Five years later, you find out that the child isn't yours, and that is verified via a DNA test. It's still possible that you might be ordered to support the child. Why? Because you already acknowledged paternity, and you waited too late (too much time has passed) to contest it.

On the other hand if you have been notified by a court there is a child support case against you, you can request a DNA test to determine if you are the father.

Answer 3

Yes the parent that is not raising the child full time in the home needs to pay child support until that child turns 18. Some states they have to pay until the child is out of college.

Answer 4

Parents have to pay until their child is emancipated and can support themselves. Pregnancy does not do any of those things so yes, you have to pay for your child just like she has to pay for hers.
