AnswerChild support does not depend on visitation. They are addressed in separate orders and the orders remain in effect until they are modified by the court. If the child has a good reason to end visits with the non-custodial parent the custodial should file a motion with the court to modify the visitation order. The child should be old enough to offer testimony to the judge if he/she wishes.

The parent and child should be prepared to offer specific evidence for curtailing the visits. Perhaps the non-custodial parent and child could instead meet for dinner each week away from the negative environment. Provide the court with enough evidence to make a fair determination.

This matter should be addressed as soon as possible through the court system before the non-custodial parent has the time to file a motion for contempt against the custodial parent. That would change the nature of the dispute.

File a motion for modification ASAP.

You pay child support and college expenses am I entitled to a reduction in support?

It is my understanding that if the noncustodial parent is paying child support in the state of Mo. and the child decides to live on campus/away from custodial parent while attending college and noncustodial parent is paying % of college expenses that include room and board a modification/reduction in child support may be in order. However I would like to see a court case/opinion regarding this matter.

If your child runaway from custodial home and is a minor because she doesn't want to follow rules then the noncustodial parent is off the hook for paying child support to the custodial parent right?

That's an interpretive item meant for a judge. At the minimum, the separated parent should file an emergency motion to modify custody of a child in need of care. You can never stop paying the support without the approval of the court. see link

Can a noncustodial parent refuse to give the custodial parent the child back to avoid paying 48 thousand dollars back child support and then try to file for support from custodial parent?

No, and no can he, so there must be a greater issue related here as to the safety of the children. As for being in arrears, in this economy that comes as no shock as men do not know there is free legal help to avoid or reduce arrears from the government. That is what I teach them.
