In Massachusetts: If there is a child support order (issued by the court) then the 'non-custodial' parent will have to pay child support to the 'custodial' parent until the child support order is modified by the court. Even if the kids actually live with the 'non-custodial' parent, that parent still has to follow the current court orders, no matter how unfair. If the kids are living with the non-custodial parent, though, it shouldn't be too difficult to go into court and get the child support order changed.

You have to do whatever your court order says, if the situation has changed you need to go back to court and get a new court order. Failure to pay your court ordered child support can result in loss of license and other penalties.

Yes. The child support order must be modified in order for the non-custodial parent to be relieved of their obligations under that order. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears should the dynamics of the relationship change again.

The income difference between both parents are irrelevant when it is in reference to child support. There is, in most family courts, a calculation based on the total cost to raise a child. Most states can only take up to or about 10-20% of a persons income but that is just a baseline and other factors such as cost of living for the individual paying the child support can greatly affect the payout to the other parent.

It doesn't matter what the child wants. If they still live with the custodial parent, child support must still be paid. If the child changes residences via court ordered custody modification, a motion to modify support based on that should be made at the same time.

Depends on how much the other parents gross earnings are for the year. I would go to your state site which would have a link to where you could calculate this. Every states law is different.

Child support needs to be decided on by the court. In most cases, the noncustodial parent is responsible for something.

As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.
