Should you leave your ten year old daughter at home from 3 to 5?

no you should always take your ten year old with you when your going out. When, your thirteen you can leave them home alone till 3 to 5.

There few laws that deal with ages for leaving children alone only a couple states have them. The test would be whether the child is safe, whether the child feels safe, and if the child knows how to obtain assistance if they needed it.

Can you pay child support to your 26 year old daughter instead of her mother?

That depends on the child support orders. It is unusual for someone to have to be paying child support to a 26 year old child. But sometimes a judge will order the support to be paid until the child is out of college, or until a certain age. If your child support order did not order you to pay it beyond college or their current age, you don't have to pay it at all, unless it was ordered for another reason. If that is the case, then it has to be paid to the mother. But since I don't know the reason you are still having to pay it with your child being 26 years old, it's hard to give more of an answer. If the child support was in arrears, and you are now paying back child support, then yes, you still have to pay it to the mother. Other than these reasons, though, I don't see where you would be obligated to even pay it at all. If you are paying it by choice, and not by court order, then you can send it directly to your child.

Do you have to pay spousal support even though you were married for 4 months?

Typically no. When a marriage is as short as four months the courts do not award alimony because it was too short to create the type of reliance alimony is intended to compensate for. It is assumed that an individual would be able to sustain the same financial independence they had before the short marriage. Marriages over 5 years are those that a court considers for alimony. So, absent some type of special circumstance you will not be forced to pay alimony.

What if a Parent agrees to dismiss child support?

Massachusetts child support is formula based, taking into consideration all financial resources, and not just earned income. This includes the income of a second spouse.

As such, it is not possible to estimate an obligation.
