Regardless of the situation, the obligated parent must adhere to the court order of support until the order is amended or rescinded by the court of jurisdiction. The father cannot arbitrarily stop child support payments, he will have to file a lawsuit (petition) in the appropriate state court to have the child support amended or stopped. Unless the young woman falsified the documents needed to obtain public assistance, the state's division of child support enforcement or social services would be aware that her father is paying support also, and that would in all likelihood indicate the support order now in place would hold up if contested.

The person who needs to pay child support for the baby is the baby's father, not you because the baby is not your child.

In Alabama does the parent still have to pay child support if the minor has a baby?

i live in cailf.my child is 18 and she just had ababy do i still have to pay child support do i pay child support for my child who has a baby


If an 18 year old goes to live with sister and is still in high school are you reqiured to pay child support?

I could be mistaken, but I believe that child support only applies for the biological mother/father of the actual baby. As you are the father/mother of the mother, I don't think you have to pay anything, even if you're daughter is only 16. The 18 year old is the one that has to worry . . . but this could also change depending on what country/state you're from. Im from NSW Australia, and that's what would apply here, but things could be different for you. Wishing you the best of luck in the future . . . Having a child does not emancipate a person. Your 16-year-old daughter is still a minor, and therefore you'd still have to pay child support for her (notice I said *her* not her child). I'm assuming she's not married and is still in school and lives at home?


Do you still pay child support if the kid you pay support for has a baby?

It depends on your state. Normally child support ends upon the age of majority in your state or emancipation. Unless a child is considered emancipated through giving birth, you will probably have to continue paying support. However, there are a few states that end child support at that time. Check your local state laws.


If you got divorced and your ex becomes pregnant and has the child within 300 days of the divorce does your name have to be on the birth certificate and do you have to pay child support for this baby?

If this is your baby than your name should be on the certificate. Regardless if your name is on the certificate or not you will still have to pay child support if this is your baby. There are a lot of people who were never married that are paying child support so the divorce is irrevelant. Why would you not want to be responsible for your own child. Just because she is the one carrying the baby doesn't mean you are any less responsible. (see discussion)


What can you do if your baby's mom is living with you and you're paying her child support?

Child support is to provide for children not living with you, it would be assumed if you are living with your child that you are supporting them - take it up with your local child support board.

What happens to the child support when your daughter has a baby and moves out with her boyfriend and no longer living with her mother?

Does a father still have to pay child support if the child has a baby before the age of 18?

Yes. It is the parents responsibility to provide support to a child until they are 18, or 19 and in school. If that child has given birth it is of no consequence in terms of child support unless the child was legally emancipated. Having a baby does not legally emancipate a minor.


Do i still pay child support if my 16 year old daughter moves out of state with her boyfrined and their baby?

Yes until she is emancipated. It might also be a good idea, since you allowed her to move, to see to that the child support goes directly to her and not to the mother unless she moved with them.

You still have to pay child support. Parental rights and child support are 2 separated issues. You have to pay for your child unless the child gets adopted.
