(in the US) It might be possible - it all depends on which court - and where the court was located - that awarded the support payments. The fact that you managed to avoid paying until after the child beame an adult does not make you "home free" for avoiding them all these years.

In the US, there is no statute of limitations on collecting unpaid child support.

What does it mean when the court states a child has been emancipated?

The Rights of Minors Who Become Legally Recognized as Adults

Under the law, a minor can beemancipatedby the court for one or more of several reasons. To be emancipated means that the child is “legally” an adult and no longer requires parental supervision even though they may not have yet reached the age of majority (age 18 in most states).

If a minor is granted emancipation by the court, the child gains certain rights and benefits normally reserved for adults. These include the right to sue and bring actions in court without the need for an adult filing as “Next Friend”, the right to marry and the right to join the military without parental permission.

Emancipated minors may also choose to live where they please, enter into contracts and own property. They can obtain medical care without a parent’s signature and they can manage their own money.

But emancipation isn’t just about benefits. An emancipated minor is also responsible for any contracts he or she signs and can be sued in court just like an adult. They are responsible for their own well-being which means that they must earn their own living, pay their own bills and find their own place to live – their parents will no longer be responsible for these things.

Emancipated minors are also no longer eligible for state assistance normally offered to children. They will, however, still be eligible to receive any assistance normally offered to adults.

Some states also recognize “partial” emancipation as an alternative to complete emancipation. In these instances, the child will be awarded certain rights, such as the right to manage their own money or the right to choose their own school but will still fall under their parents’ supervision for all other matters.

Should i pay for a child's modeling portfolio?

That's entirely up to you if not mandated by the court as an expense you are responsible for paying.

Would also like to add that if your child is a aspiring model the agencies pay for photos being taken and there is no need to have photos taken yourself. The agencies keep telling people this over and over because parents and teens get ripped off. The agencies know if someone have potential and will then have their photographers take pics after they meet the child in person. So don't waste your money.

Do you have full custody of your son if his father left?

It depends on your legal status before and after the father left. If you are married then he still has full parental rights until a court renders a custody order.
