Yes, if the order is still in effect. He must obey the child support order or he will be found in contempt of a court order. If his income has decreased he can petition the court to modify the child support order.
The non custodial parent pays child support. If the father has custody of the child then the mother pays child support and vice versa. If the father is the non custodial parent and is in school he is still obligated to pay child support whether he is unemployed or not. The only thing that can relinquish a support order is if the parent is incarcerated and not receiving an income, if you sign over your rights ( which in some cases you might still be obligated to pay ) or if you die.
Yes, but you should work with him to get a modification done. use a certified mediator
yes, if he has an income (other than SSI or public assistance), or substantial assets
Yes! If he fails to report his financial status to the courts
In general, child support is a percentage of net income. Child support can be garnished from Unemployment Insurance Benefits.
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.

No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
if the child is still at the age to where child support is needed than it doesn't matter if the father is retired.

yes visitation and child support are two separate issues. Also if paternity is determined the man is not the birth father he has no obligation to child
If the father of your kids moves in does he still have to pay child support?
Yes, he does. He is still a father, he has a child, and that child needs support.
Yes child support doesn't stop even if you are unemployed or have no income at all
Yes, but a reduced amountAdditional AnswerThe father would need to return to court to petition for a reduction in the child support order. He cannot reduce the payments on his own. In Massachusetts, for example, the arrears will continue to accumulate until the order is modified.
If the court has awarded child support, then the good intentions of the father are irrelevant. Legally, child support must be paid.
