The persons in custody of the child must file for legal guardianship and request the court modify the child support order. The person needs legal standing to receive child support.
That should have no effect.
the guardian should file to have the order transferred to them as well as file on the parent currently receiving it to also pay. Or the obligor parent should file for custody.
No. The parent is still the parent and responsible for the child abandoned or not. The child support payments will just keep adding up until the person is found.
As he's on SSD, none at all.
Yes, but you'd have to file an amendment (order modification) to the existing order with a request for support for yourself.
No.
Yes the child support can be revoked since the parent receiving support is no longer legally supporting the child
A parent must obey the child support order. A custodial parent may be serving in the military with the child under temporary guardianship. That is no reason to stop paying child support. If the child isn't living with the custodial parent who is receiving child support the matter must be brought before the court.
It's not automatic. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency.
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
In order to receive child support and the whole idea and the point for receiving child support is because the child resides with the person that is receiving it. Now you may want to check your local laws incase for some reason they are different but yes the child must live with the person receiving the child support.
Typically, the custodial parent of a minor continues to receive child support until the minor becomes an adult or is emancipated.
