Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
No, the parent that originally had custody of the child no longer recieves child support after the custody arrangements change. However, the court must be notified of the change so the child support order can be modified. The parent with custody receives the child support.
Typically, the custodial parent of a minor continues to receive child support until the minor becomes an adult or is emancipated.
I don't know, but I am aware of several cases where the custodial parent collected back child support years after the child reached adult age, even to the point of garnishing social security payments.
Yes, as an adult you can sue a noncustodial parent for back child support. However it is a different story if the noncustodial parent has never been ordered to pay child support. You can still sue them for a percentage of their assets. I am currently working on a case in which my client is sueing his father for 15 years of back child support. Any divorce lawyer can handle this case for you.
You only have to pay support up till the age of 18 then they are no longer a child but an adult you may have to split the college but that should be arranged by the court
What does your court order say about moving out of state? Does the non-custodial parent take part in visitation with the child? How screwed up do you want the child support to become? The adult way to handle this is to have a conversation with the other parent and let them know your intentions, why you are moving and the impact this will have on visitation. If the other parent visits regularly the order will have to be rewritten (if the other parent wants it to be) to allow for travel, how is the child going to get back and forth, how much time will be spent with the other parent, etc.
Yes, you are paying child support because it is yourduty/obligation to provide for support your of child.You seem to be wanting to shift your responsibility for supporting your child onto your daughters boyfriend and this is not possible as, until your daughter is an adult, responsibility for her remains with you and the custodial parent.
No. The back child support is owed to the custodial parent and the amount due doesn't go away until it has been paid.
Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
Depends on your state, but odds are that you cannot. Child support is normally for a custodial parent. If you no longer live with that custodial parent, and are 18, you are an adult, not a child. Thus, you are not technically entitled to child support.
Typically, the custodial parent of a minor continues to receive child support until the minor becomes an adult or is emancipated.
Your custodial parent can collect unpaid support that accrued under an order. Support sometimes continues after the child becomes an adult if the child is disabled.
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
no the child is already 18 then they are legally an adult and the parent doesnt need to pay child support
No. The custodial parent is/was the obligor, not the child.
No. The purpose of collecting back child support is to financially reimburse the custodial parent for the support he or she provided in the past. It is not intended to provide present or future support. The debt is owed entirely to the mother in this case, since she was the one who provided financial support to the child. There are cases in which an adult can receive the back child support owed to their parent, but these usually involve the death of that parent.
In most states it's a no since at 18 you are an adult and custody does not apply anymore.
