yes
Child support may or may not be received, but it will still be owed regardless. Child support is never erased from the books until it is paid, assuming it is paid, even after the child becomes an adult. If the abuser is in jail and unable to pay, the tab will still continue to add up, but there is no assurance that it will someday be paid.
Yes, child support counts as income for the purposes of filing your FAFSA or applying for financial aid.
Yes it will still add up and you will have to pay!
The benefit is that your child is getting financial support from BOTH parents for all the things that he she needs. Food, shelter, clothing, education, etc. These things really DO add up!
yes, however if the father is paying child support, he has the right to add his.
There is no such thing as "social security child support." If the child's parent(s) is eligible for Social Security, the child is probably eligible, also. In such a case, the child's benefit is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
If it's about being your son, surely he should be receiving child support rather than giving it..? If he has fathered a child, better alter the question and also add the jurisdiction.
No. If you are not married you pay child support to the custodial guardian, in this case the mother (?), and they take a 26% (?) out of your income to pay for the child. She is also already spending a % of her income. Since you are not married you do not share a income.
The normal code for an input button is this:To make it inactive, add this:
Yes, unless you can prove that it's not your money.
As a percentage is carried by each parent, a modification order is required.
In most cases child support stops once the child is 18 years of age or older. It also depends on the agreement you have with the court system. I suggest you find out the details of your agreement and ask a lawyer what your options are about child support since the child is a legal adult now. Just wanted to add that if you are paying in arrears then you will have to pay the support until ALL the back child support is paid off. Just because the child in question is of age, doesnt mean that you don't have to pay, I would recommend going back to your original support ORDER if you know where it is.
