No. And if someone argues the point, seek legal advice. Child support is designed to help provide for the child, not the parent who receives the child support. Maintenance is the only thing that ceases upon marriage or living with an unrelated male.

Even if you remarry, the child support continues until the child is "emancipated" which means either 21 or working full time living outside the home. College does not count as emancipation, and payments must continue until 21.

The one thing that my change however is the amount of child support that is paid. In New York State you may submit your previous years earning information prior to Feb 15th of EACH year and your ex-spouse will be required to do the same. The court issues an adjustment (if appropriate) within a few weeks.

If you feel as if you are receiving to little or paying too much, both sides may take advantage of the recalculation to keep things fair to everyone involved.

It is not morally or legally acceptable that child support should stop upon remarriage of the custodial parent. The obligated parent is still the child's parent and the child is entitled to the support of both parents. In the United States that type of provision in a separation agreement may be in violation of state laws and would be unenforceable, as it should be. It wouldn't be approved by the court.

Yes, it does.

Child support takes a different form if the parents are married, because they would then be simply managing a household together. Money would still be spent to pay for the costs of raising whatever children the married couple may have, but it would not have to be paid by one spouse to the other.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Precisely, If the family comes back together as one household the courts would see no point in enforcing support.

Marriage emancipates a minor and that is cause to stop child support but you have to go to court to have it end, it wont stop by itself.
