All of it is given to the custodial parent, except for amounts retained by the State as reimbursement for public assistance.
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
It seems unlikely that a non-custodial relative would have "standing" to request a change in child support.
Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.
the non-custodial parent
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approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded.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.
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê

Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
yes
Not technically. Child support is for a custodial parent to support the child. Check your state laws.
no
No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.
There are no valid reasons not to get child support. That money is supposed to be used to help raise the child. If the custodial parent tries to refuse child support before a judge, the judge will override the custodial parent's wishes and explain that the child support belongs to the child, not to the custodial parent.
