Nah. I didn't have to, and my lawer said I didn't have to!(I am serious.)=This may depend on the state and county you live in. In parts of PA, if the grandparents are given custody of a child or have custody of a child, they CAN petition for child support, and yes the parents would have to pay for the care of that child.=

Child support is paid to the person who has legal custody of the child. If the grandmother has legal custody then the child support order should be modified so the payments go to her.

In the circumstance you mention, both parents could be ordered to pay.

Yes. A court can order that a parent pay child support to a grandparent who has legal guardianship of the child. Arrears can be assessed by the court to cover a time period when no support order was in effect.

Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
