You didn't state where you live, but if you're in the US (and without knowing what state).... Five years ago you should have petitioned for custody and child support, but since you didn't do it then and the child is 18 now (no longer a minor), there's likely nothing you can do. Call a local attorney and ask.

Does noncustodial parent has to pay child support even if the child had dropped out of school and living with her boyfriend but not a custodial parent?
Yes, depending on state laws. But, a motion to modify can be presented to the court. see links
Is it fraud when a noncustodial parent is living with his mistress and she is collecting child support?
no
If a minor is living with a friend not relative is not willing to get emancipated and joint custody is established in court who then gets child support the noncustodial or custodial parent?
The child is considered a runaway if refusing to live at home. The emancipation need not be approved by them. As for the child support, that is strictly interpreted by the court. see link
Can the noncustodial parent receive child support from the custodial parent if it is in court papers that there is joint custody of children?
It is assumed you mean the parents have joint legalcustody and one parent has physical custody.Generally, the parent with physical custody is awarded the child support since child support is intended to help pay for the child needs, living expenses and all the associated costs of raising the child. The custodial parent has much more in living expenses that are associated with raising the child.See related question link.
Do I have to continue to indefinitely pay the custodial parent child support even though my daughter is handicapped and is living in an institution when the other parent does not contribute at all?
You have to keep paying until you take it back to court to amend the order. You will probably be ordered to pay to the institution your child is living in, not the custodial parent.
Does the noncustodial parent have to pay child support to custodial parent if child moves in with noncustodial parent?
No, but the new CP should immediately return to the venue that issued the order to get it terminated, or at least suspended until custody is worked out.Wrong. The newly-custodial parent will have to continue to pay child support until which time the "current" court order reflects that you no longer have to.Such things as a large pay differences could very-well continue having you pay child support but at a very small amount, in order to equalize the child's living conditions.(I thought it was BS too but I'm a single father who still pays child support)
Can living with a custodial parent prevent the custodial parent from being awarded child support from the ex?
Not really the Judge will decide this matter for you.

If a 21 year old full time student lives on their own is the custodial parent entitled to child support?
If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living
Does a father still have to pay child support on his 17 year old daughter when her mother gave her permission to get married?
If you're in the US, marriage automatically emancipates a minor and therefore the parents are no longer responsible for supporting them, so, no, child support does not continue. The noncustodial parent needs to file a petition to have the child support terminated.
Do courts take into consideration if a noncustodial parent has other children living with him when determining child support or modifying child support?
No. In general, child support is a percentage of net income.
In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
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.
