Unless there was a lien on the assets, you're probably out of luck. However, the child might be eligible for RSDI (Social Security) based on the deceased parent's earnings.
Depends on circumstances. If the child is underage, then the money goes to a guardian. If the child is of the age of majority, in states where it extends beyond that point, or if there are arrears still owing, then yes.
There is no statute of limitations on collecting past-due child support.
Not applicable. You will receive nothing more than the normal amount for a child of a deceased parent.
The simple answer is yes. The child support is owed to the parent and not the child. As cold as it sounds, whether the child is alive is irrelevant. If the debt is owed the parent it is still owed until the statutue of limitations (deadline to collect) expires. In most states that is many, many years after the debt first became due. The big difference is that the state will not take the case at all if the child is deceased. You will need the help of a private support collection agency if you cannot collect on your own.
First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.
Support is owed to the parent (or the State), not the child.
No. If there were arrears in this case it was owed to the custodial parent. The child does not get child support or arrears.
Child support arrears should always be established in the court that issued the child support order because once established they do not go away. The custodial parent should stay on top of the case and continue to pursue the matter in court.
The custodial parent or legal guardian should file the child support petition even if the whereabouts of the non custodial parent are currently unknown. This allows the petitioner to be in a position to collect all arrears of support once the absentee parent is located.
