Does non custodial parent have to pay child support and alimony if the custodial parent doesnt work?

Answer 1

In some states the non custodial parent is required to pay child support even if the custodial parent is not working, especially if the custodial parent is receiving welfare, AFDC, or public assistance. what will happen is that the noncustodial parent pays child support and the departmant of social services will take that payment and use it as a full or partial payment towards the monthly assistance grant. I do not know what the standard policy is for alimony.

Answer 2

If the custodial parent has some other obligation such as therapy (during which time they might required outside child care), and if it is approved by the court assigning the child support value to you, then yes you have to pay. If the other parent stopped working and they could technically watch the child during the day, thereby eliminating the value of child care costs, then you need to request a modification in child support. If you don't act, it won't change, and yes you'd have to pay it anyways. And if you delay acting, you'll be expected to pay the costs during those months you procrastinated.

Of course. Your child still has to eat and wear clothes and have heat and light and a place to live. Deprivation of necessities should not be added to the already burdened child. You need to step up to the plate and think of the child's needs. Your child is being neglected and you need to step in and try to help- not make the situation worse.

You need to return to court and speak with an advocate who can review your situation and advise you on how to proceed. Your child's mother is violating the law by not enrolling the child in school if she is old enough to attend school.
