Only the courts can forgive unpaid support.
And only that not owed the state directly due to the mother being on Welfare at some point.
No, the debt is all his.
No, the mother expended the money raising the child, she is entitled to payment. If the mother has passed away, the estate can claim the money.
In most cases, no, child support collection cannot be stopped until the debt is fully paid.
The defendant must petition the court in person. To do this, certain paperwork must be filed and then a court date will be set. You must show proof positive that you have met all your financial obligations for child support. If one has missed any payments during the time they were making child support payments, those are STILL owed and the court will not rule otherwise until the entire debt has been satisfied.
Child support is not subject to garnishments. If your ex husband has a job, they will garnish his wages and can also garnish a tax refund check from the state or federal government. If you do not pay your half of the debt, and your ex is garnished for your portion as well as his, he can counter sue you for the portion that is your responsibility. A judge can change your child support order, and make it not payable until the garnishment is satisfied. Sounds like you need a job, and need to pay your bills.

No, the debt is all his.
Debt consolidation schemes are almost never a good idea. Also, keep in mind that there is no statute of limitations on collecting unpaid child support, and unpaid support is not discharged in bankruptcy.
Child support debt cannot be charged off in a bankruptcy.
No.
You need to review your particular child support order for the terms and length of your obligation. If you owe back child support the debt remains until it is paid.
You will need to check with a lawyer in your jurisdiction, as the nature of failure to pay child support debt varies from state to state. At the very least, I suspect that you can have a lien placed against your property/home for the amount of back child support (i.e. liens indicate debt owed when the property is sold). I would find it very unlikely that a child support debt would allow for forced sale of a primary residence, though I could easily see that forced sale of "investment" property to satisfy a child support debt could be possible. Once again, please consult and actual Family Law attorney.
Whether you can eliminate a debt that resulted from a divorce decree will depend on the type of debt. If you owe child support or alimony from a divorce then you will not be able to eliminate the debt in bankruptcy. If the divorce assigned some debt to you as part of the divorce and it was not assigned as child support or alimony then you may be able to eliminate the debt in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to eliminate debt assigned to you that is in the nature of a property settlement and not child support or alimony.
shure why not
Yes, and continuing child support owed after in states like Missouri where death is not a justiable cause for not paying support.
Children are never entitled to child support and cannot sue their parents for child support money. Child support is a debt paid from one parent to the other.
No. Child support is based upon the non custodial parent's income. A student loan is considered a debt.
