Yes, until the court rules otherwise. see links below..

A child support does not end because the child is a runaway,however child support is just that,it is to be used for the support of the minor child if that child is not there then you need to contact the court and find out the options available to you in your state..

Support payment will continue regardless....However

There are some States in which if a child is a runaway then all the child support payments can be held in escrow by an attorney or by the court itself and are then released only when the child has been returned home...If the child does not return home then all support payments that are made will be released to that child when the child reaches age 18....check your local laws...

YES, as long as the child is a minor and not emancipated you are obligated to follow the court order. But, you might consider filing a motion to modify or discontinue if the circumstance continues. See link

No, but you can request the order be place on hold. In this event, you put the money away because you will still owe it to someone.
