Does social security benefits replace child support?
My ex husband was in an accident and has not paid child support for 27 months. He is now drawing SS benefits which my child just started to receive benefits, his step-child is receiving the other half of the benefits. However, these benefits are less than what he was paying in child support
If your ex hasn't paid child support in a month do you have to send your child for visitation?
He's not paying for the right to see his child or for the child's right to see his father. He's paying for the upkeep of the child. Think of the message that will send to the child; If you father can not pay you have no right to see him. If he's not paying you have to go to court. Starting to mess with the custody agreement on your own will just cause trouble.
Does the father have to pay child support if the child lives on their own in Mississippi?
A minor child should not be living on their own. If the child has been legally emancipated the parent may be excused from paying child support. Otherwise, they will be assessed if the custodial parent files a petition for child support with the court. At that time the fact of the child living on their own can be brought to the attention of the court.A minor child should not be living on their own.

Do you have legal obligation for child support after child turns 18?
You need to contact an attorney or legal aid in your state. Massachusetts just ruled that child support obligations survive death. If the estate has enough money to continue paying the support, the parent cannot disinherit the minor child to stop child support payments after death.
Can a parent that is behind in child support get joint custody of a child whos mother already has full legal custody?
Certainly some evidence of responsibility (ie paying child support, job, time spent with the child) would help your case. Joint custody, however, is not just for the purpose of reducing child support; infact the child support you pay is nowhere near what it costs to raise a child. Consider the ramifications of your sharing custody--what is in the best interests of the child??
Should you still be paying child support for your daughter when she graduated last year has had a baby and the father lives with them?
In most cases child support stops once the child is 18 years of age or older. It also depends on the agreement you have with the court system. I suggest you find out the details of your agreement and ask a lawyer what your options are about child support since the child is a legal adult now. Just wanted to add that if you are paying in arrears then you will have to pay the support until ALL the back child support is paid off. Just because the child in question is of age, doesnt mean that you don't have to pay, I would recommend going back to your original support ORDER if you know where it is.
When the child reach 18 years old what step is necessary to stop paying child support?

What happens when you get fired from your job in Florida and you can't afford child support?
You go to court to have the support order modified. Or you just stop paying it and go to jail. Your choice. It's not your child's fault you got fired, and it's not like they suddenly stop needing to eat. At the very least you should be paying as much of your child support as you can.
Can child support be terminated due to lack of visitation?
If the person paying child support goes to court about it, it's possible. However, it doesn't "just happen", nor is it legal for someone to stop paying child support without a new court order specifically stating so (unless the child reaches the age at which the court order says child support can stop; in that case it's not necessary to go back to court about it).
Should women be made to pay child support?
Women have the same obligation to support their children as men if the child does not reside with them. Parents are responsible for the financial support of their children. For example, the child may reside with the biological father or another relative. In that case, the mother would be responsible for paying child support if the court entered a child support order.
