Who in turn sued me for child support and now both my ex and I have to paid our son child support until he is 21 if he continues to go on to college.
Is high school attendance by a minor child mandatory in order for the custodial parent to continue receiving child support payments?
While elementary school is mandatory, high school is not. Unless the support order specifically states that the child needs to be attending high school in order for support to be paid, the answer is "NO".
Can the custodial parent bring a 15-year-old to the non-custodial parent and tell them if he is returned they will put him in boys school?
If a parent wishes to relinquish custodial rights it must be done through the court. Actions such as described obviously can happen, but threats and intimidation of anyone (especially children) is not advisable and certainly not acceptable. The welfare of the child is what is important. The custodial parent would not be able to place the child in any school (other than a private or boarding/educational facility) w/o ajudication via juvenile court.
Does child support have to be made if the child is in boarding school and the custodial parent is not paying for the school?
Who is paying for the school? Is it a scholarship or a relative? As long as it is not the person required to pay child support it really doesn't matter. The child still needs clothes, uniforms, health insurance, all sorts of things. Sorry, you don't get out of paying child support based on where the kid goes to school.
Do you have to pay child support for a person who is 21?
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.

If your 18-year-old son dropped out of school and moved out of the custodial parent's house a year ago is it legal for the custodial parent to re-enroll him in school so the support will continue?
Yes, if the non custodial parent wanted to file suit to have the support order amended or rescinded it should have been done when the child dropped out of school and/or moved from the custodial parent's residence. A child support order is valid until the child reaches the age of majority for the state where the order was issued or the age stated in the support order or unless the order is changed or ceased by order of the court.
If a 21 year old full time student lives on their own is the custodial parent entitled to child support?
If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living
Does each parent in a divorced situation need to be responsible for paying the school for half of the lunch money?
Generally speaking, if there is a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent (joint custody is different and each case is unique), then the non-custodial parent pays child support and that child support is supposed to be used (along with the custodial parent's contribution, because they're responsible for providing for the child too) to pay for everything that the child needs, including lunches.
What is the cut off age for filing for child support if an order was never filed in the state of Texas?
There is no cut off age for establishing a child support order. Even if the child is 18 and has graduated high school, child support can still be sought from the non-custodial parent. However, the judge may determine that a reduced amount is owed, or even that no child support is owed at all, if the non-custodial parent was unaware of his parenthood or if the custodial parent never attempted to contact him to make him aware of his parenthood. Unless the child is severely handicapped, the court is not going to enter an order for support once the child has attained majority and/or become emancipated.
If there was no order put in place for child support can the child who is now 23 go after the mother for back child support in South Carolina?
Child support does not belong to the child but rather to the custodial parent to help compensate for the cost of raising the child until he or she is 18 or no longer attends school as a fulltime student. The custodial parent can however seek payment for back past child support from the non custodial parent.
In NY state if a child wants to live with the non-custodial parent at age eighteen does the custodial parent then pay child support?
Typically child support ceases when the child reaches the age of majority unless the court decides to continue support while the child is in school, whether it be high school or college. You can certainly go to court and request an order of support, but unless you were previously ordered to pay support to the custodial parent beyond age eighteen while the child was in their care it is unlikely an order will be imposed.
