I wouldn't do it without written approval of child support enforcement and/or the court. Get a printout on your payments from CSE first. I do hope you're paying through them and with a court order, otherwise anything you're paying could be considered a gift.

In most cases, states will give you a "credit" on your child support obligation based on the over-paid amount. This will reduce or even eliminate your monthly child support payment until the credit has been used up. Very few states will issue a cash refund for the over-paid amount unless the child is approaching the age of majority.

Depends on the state. Request it from the person who received the support first, if not, check you state laws as some allow for you to sue the receiving party.

That's dependent on the state. Account practices are generally not set up for or it so a modification must be filed as regards future payments.

If you paid child support and child is 20 years old can you get the child support back?

Depends on your state laws. Some states have laws that any overpaid child support can be requested from the parent who received the support and if not, you can sue them for the overpayment. Check on your local state laws. Answer You must request the court (most forms are readily available at the courthouse or online) to end the responsibility. Otherwise, you are still on the hook for payments. If the child is in college, it may be that child support will continue--just depends on your agreement. Overpaid child support?
