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.
no the mother should have the legal obligation to take care of the child
yes, he always should pay child support because she is his child.
The father should return to the venue that issued the order for support, with proof of his income, and ask for a modification.SEE LINK BELOW
No. She is grown now so no need for child support. You should have done this when she was still a child. A DNA test would easily have proved he was the dad and the court would've forced him to pay.
No, Welfare will file, plus the father can file an order, as he should. see link
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.
In such a case, the non-custodial father should prepare to begin paying child support.
No, however a father should and not wait for the mother to. see links below
The mother should contact her (US) state child support agency. Be patient but persistent. Good luck!
If your father was given total custody of you and your brother then he could go to court to get you back. However, (and you would have to ask your mother this) if your mother and father have joint custody (such as you or your brother seeing your mother on spring break or other holidays) then child support would continue as was instructed by the courts. If your father had total custody and your mother never saw you, then she could file for partial child support. I know it's confusing, but simply put, if your father doesn't pay your mother child support she should see at least Child Welfare regarding this matter and your father should be paying her some child support regarding you. Good luck hon Marcy
You should pay through the court where child support was ordered. They will mail or otherwise get it to the mother in PA.
