Yes. It is a court ORDER that has to be carried out. (been there, done that). Couple of things you might do. 1) Ask your spouse for leniency. 'if you let me lower the payments, I'll make them up to you.' 2) Go back to court and ask for a reduction due to change in economic situation. In both cases, contact the court and let them know. Keep them in the loop. You will find if you keep them in the loop with changes in status, both good and bad, they will be more open to your situation. Don't hide, don't run, it will make your position worse. This goes for males and females.

If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?

Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
