Your mother, if it's actually owed.
No. The money isn't for the mother. The money is for supporting the child. Back child support belongs to the estate of the deceased and will eventually benefit the child. And even if the child should die, the back child support does not go away.
Probably, but there should be a credit for past-due support owed to you.
No. If you adopted a child and the mother cancelled the adoption, you should owe nothing.
no it goes to the mother.
Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.
If the mother doesn't seek a child support order no one will make the father pay. However, keep in mind that the mother can always change her mind and get back child support in the future. If the child and/or mother are receiving any state assistance the father will be required to pay child support.Fathers are responsible for supporting their children. If the mother doesn't need the child support then she should put it in the bank for the child's collegeeducation.
Petition the court for a modification. If the back support was for any state aid the mother was on, then it can't be forgiven. If it isn't for that, then the mother can write a letter saying she forgives the back support owed to her.
The parents have to go back to court to file a modification of the custody order. They should also terminate any child support order that obligates the father to pay child support
Your mother should have pursued your father in court for child support when you were young. In most jurisdictions you have no legal standing to sue your father for child support now, and especially if there was no original child support order. If there was an order at some time your mother may be able to sue for arrears but that seems not to be the case.
No, the mother is the one that paid for taking care of the kid and is the one that should be reimbursed for it. If the mother has passed, the money is owed to her estate.
The two concepts are not related. Payment of child support is a financial responsibility. It does not depend on whether you see your children or not.
You go back to court and file the papers to do so. The forms are readily available if you want to file them yourself.Another PerspectiveHowever, you should be aware that in the United States most jurisdictions will not allow a mother to waive child support from the child's father. The reason is that the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the mother doesn't need to money then it should be deposited in the child's name, perhaps for college or whatever the child decides when they reach the age of majority.Also, if the mother is receiving any type of financial assistance the state will pursue child support from the father.
