That's like asking why your mom should have to pay child support. You have needs just like you say and both your parents are responsible for those needs. Clothes, roof over your head, food, and other things you need. They are your guardians so they have control over the money until you are of age. Unless you have no clothes, sleep outside and starving you really have no other needs. For candy, magazines, toys, hobbies etc, that's what weekly allowances are for.
If the child support order provides that the non-custodial parent pay then yes, of course. Living on campus implies the child is in college and needs the support of both parents. Living on campus costs money. Costs don't go down when your child enters college.
You need to go to court to modify your child support agreement. Yes, as long as your old agreement hasn't been modified, she can legally collect child support from you. There may be provisions in your support agreement by which your children do not have to reside with her, especially if the money is still going toward their support. The court probably won't make your ex-wife pay back the money, but it will give you credit for having paid it.
Yes. The child's needs continue, and VA taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for those needs.
There are lots of factors involved. What does the court order say? If there is back child support owed, it is still to be paid. The child still needs to be supported, in this case the state may take the money and give it to the foster care or new guardian for the benefit of the child.
Yes, plus the mother can be ordered to pay.
Child support is used to take care of a child's needs. A parent can choose to give you the money but as long as all needs are met, they do not have to.
If the child support is not getting to the custodial parent, the court will seize the money and make sure it is delivered. But note that the child support is not given to the child. It is used to pay for the food, clothing, shelter, and essential needs of the child.
Yes, because that money is really not yours. It is given to you for the needs of the child.
Child support is paid to meet the needs of a child. If the child needs a cell phone, yes.
Yes, any form of income, other than needs-based income, can be garnished for back child support in New York. Money from a lawsuit or settlement is considered income.
child support is intended to cover any of the child's needs, but since it goes to the parent, it can be spent any way they want. it's not like foodstamps, where there is a restriction on what child support money can buy. however, if child support is being paid, and the child's basic needs like food and clothing are being neglected, the parent can be taken back to court for a custody fight.
If the child support order provides that the non-custodial parent pay then yes, of course. Living on campus implies the child is in college and needs the support of both parents. Living on campus costs money. Costs don't go down when your child enters college.
if the child is special needs and has to live with a parent yes otherwise no
if the child is not living with you, then the money needs to go directly to the child, not to you, so yes, he can take you to court, unless you can prove that you are also supporting your child with the money he has sent you.
Your ex-husband's death does not change your support obligation - the child's needs continue. And, even if the child is of the age of majority, the money is still owed the father's estate.
Yes, unless you can get a court to say otherwise. Child support is to pay for your child. If your child is alive and in the custody of your partner, they get the money they need for your portion of the child's needs. They will still need clothes, and other expenses while in treatment.
Yes, he does. He is still a father, he has a child, and that child needs support.
