How do you stop paying child support when child attends college PT has full time job filled income tax on large income parent no longer claims him as a dependent?

Paying child support depends solely on the terms of the legal agreement. If the agreement states that you will pay support until the child reaches a certain milestone, be it age or college graduation or economic emancipation or whatever, then you will pay child support until that moment. The alternative is to go back to court to try to get the agreement changed.

How do you reverse temporary custody?

If it is court ordered only the court can rescind the custodial order. If it is voluntary, the custodial parent has the legal right to take their child/children from wherever they are residing. If the caregiver refuses to relinquish the child or children, the parent can enlist the assistance of the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction. Please be advised, usually the parent will need to provide valid proof of custodial rights to the child/children before police will intervene.

Can your home be taken away if you owe child support?

You will need to check with a lawyer in your jurisdiction, as the nature of failure to pay child support debt varies from state to state.

At the very least, I suspect that you can have a lien placed against your property/home for the amount of back child support (i.e. liens indicate debt owed when the property is sold). I would find it very unlikely that a child support debt would allow for forced sale of a primary residence, though I could easily see that forced sale of "investment" property to satisfy a child support debt could be possible. Once again, please consult and actual Family Law attorney.
