zit would depend on what state you live in, but typically, child support would not increase if the custodial parent decided to stop working full time and began working part time, unless it was shown to be for the sole benefit of the children
You have to pay the amount of child support ordered by the courts. The only way your inheritance might come into play is if your ex decides to take you back to court to get more child support.
Yes. The custodial parent can seek child support from the non-custodial parent. The amount will depend on the non-custodial parent's income. The non-custodial parent has the right to seek a visitation schedule. Both issues can be addressed in a single court order.
Pay the amount due (you might be able to work out a payment plan).
Yes, though it may affect the amount of SSI the child is receiving as it comes from that parent's SS account.
Well actually, it depends. A non-custodial parent can still have liberal, defined visitation and if that parent, say has 3 days a week or every weekend, and their income is vastly lower than the income of the custodial parent then there would be an avenue in many states where that 'non-custodial' parent would be entitled to child support. Again, it would vary on a number of factors including what you mean by non-custodial. If non-custodial includes no physical or legal custody and/or no visitation at all, the avenue seems virtually impossible. However, simply being non-custodial would not be the single defining point. In fact, there wouldn't be a single variable that would determine the answer to this question (particularly as state law were weighed in). Best advice, contact an attorney, many will provide free first consultations.
If there is a current order for support the custodial parent would need to file suit to have the amount increased regardless of the circumstances of the non custodial parent.
I do not think that all states are standardized yet but in Nevada it is 25% of the non custodial parents income for the first child and then an added amount of something like 3% for every additional child. The custodial parents income or marital status does not factor in at all.
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent. The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.
No he can not.
No. The non custodial parent's income and assets in conjunction with state laws pertaining to the issue determine the amount of child support that should be paid. The income of the custodial parent is only considered in very rare circumstances.
Support for the oldest non-custodial child is a percentage of the non-custodial parent's net income. For the next oldest non-custodial child, the NCP's income is reduced by the amount of support ordered and actually paid for the older child, and so forth.
Child support is the non-custodial parent's portion of the expenses of the child, including housing, food, clothing and so on. It is up to the custodial parent whether an "allowance" can be paid to the child from the child support amount.
The custodial parent (the one who has the child/children) is receiving SSI that is not included in the decision of the amount of support paid by the non custodial parent. If the non custodial parent is receiving SSD or SSI or other public assistance it is included in the decision for the amount of child support granted and such benefits can be garnished.

Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement. If the parent loses their insurance and the custodial parent has the ability to insure the child - it will be possible for the state to order the custodial parent to do so. This may change the amount of support the non custodial parent pays - it is entirely up to the whim of the courts.
No. The back child support is owed to the custodial parent and the amount due doesn't go away until it has been paid.
Some general background:The non-custodial parent is responsible for paying the amount specified in the child support order. Arrears will be assessed according to that amount. The court can modify the amount due in the child support order for future obligations but it should not do so retroactively. The amount of the arrears should remain based on the amount in the child support order. It was up to the non-custodial parent to request a modification of the original order if their circumstances changed and they could not pay.Your chances are always better if you are represented by an attorney.Some general background:The non-custodial parent is responsible for paying the amount specified in the child support order.
