Any grandparent(s) who are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren or any child of the family and not living in the same residence as the children's parents is entitled to be reimbursed for the care of those children. To be eligible for such support the grandparent must be able to show the court that the caregiving of the children is done from necessity and not just a "family matter". Or the grandparent(s) may file a petition for custody if that has not yet been done, if custody is granted, child support will be ordered as well. Contact the clerk of the circuit court in the county of residence for more information on the laws of the state in which you reside and filing procedures. Or contact the state's department of family and childrens services.

∙ 15y agoActually you can and you can't. If you are the gaurdian of the child and you went to court to be your grandchilds gaurdian, then you can not because you took over the responsibilities for this child. If you didn't and you are taking care of your grandchildren and your child agrees to pay you back your money then save the receipts of the things you bought and if they dont pay you back you can sue them, But if your child didnt agree to pay you back and you just bought the things on your own then you cant srry! Good Luck!

Does child support stop when the mother gets married?
The purpose of child support is to support your child. Whatever else you do in your life has nothing to do with your responsibility to your child.

It's about your child and his needs - and believe me, no judge is going to care how much added responsibility you've taken on.

You have one child for whom you receive child support and another child of a different father. Is your child support affected by your having to care for both children?

The first father is only responsible for supporting his own biological child.
