What is considered a gift? Any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money's worth) is not received in return.
What can be excluded from gifts?
The general rule is that any gift is a taxable gift. However, there are many exceptions to this rule. Generally, the following gifts are not taxable gifts.
1. Gifts that are not more than the annual exclusion for the calendar year.
For tax year 2009 or 2010 one family member can gift to any other number of family members up to $13,000 each without any reporting by either party each year.
The person who receives your gift does not have to report the gift to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value.
If you give any one person gifts in 2009 or 2010 that were valued at more than $13,000, you must report the total gifts to the Internal Revenue Service and may have to pay tax on the gifts each year.

They can give them as much as they wish. The tax consequences are the real issue, so discuss with a tax attorney on how to minimize the tax liability.
No.
Yeah but will the child pay back? And will the parent allow to give their child a huge amount of money?
If the child is a minor, the parent has the right to control what the child does with the money and has the right to determine what items the child may have or use.
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
In Ohio it is considered abandonment if a child is neglected or suffers physical or mental injury by a parent. It is also abandonment if a parent leaves their child for any period of time without any support, money, or communication.
The custodial parent who has had the burden of bringing up the child without the support you were meant to pay will get the funds. However if the sate has been subsidizing your child and the custodial parent when this would not have been necessary if you had payed the support you should have been paying, then the sate (taxpayer) will get the payments it is owed first.
No, the parent/guardian gets the money and is supposed to use the money to care for the child (food, education, ect.)
As much as they want.
You are a bad parent. You should have saved money so that you're child would not have to become an indentured servant in exchange for an education.
