If the parent with custody of a child sends the kid away does the other parent still have to pay child support?

It depends on what state you are in. The state determines how child support is calculated. Now, if you each have 50% residential time with the child, then no support may be due, however, if the child lives primarily with one parent, then the parent that the child is not living with is required to pay child support. The child support amount is usually based on your combined income and is then calculated at a percentage of the total income, for example: If you make $1,000 per month, and the other parent makes $2,000 per month, then you would be responsible for 33% of the child support obligation and the other parent would be responsible for 67% of the child support obligation. If the child support obligation was $200/mo., then you would be responsible for $66/mo., and the other parent $144/mo., therefore, if the child lived primarily with you, the other parent would have to pay you $144/mo. Hope that makes sense for you. Check out your state laws on child support, you can usually find them on the web. Take care.

∙ 19y agoChild support is a primary issue of Family Court. I assume there are court orders in effect, to some degree, since you have already settled the physical custody situation. It would seem in your case that an equitable agreement of support would not be difficult to make. Although I really don't understand why this would be an issue. The state in which custody was granted, is the state that decides the monetary issues for child support.

Yes, if the parent seeking child support is getting any assistance from the government, child support is a requirement.
But both parents can agree not to pay child support since each has one child. Or, both can pay child support for the child not in their home.

When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

Don't both parents have an obligation to financially support their child?
this answer is based on the income of both parties. with joint custody, generally neither party pays support, but supports the child 100% when in their care. However, if one parent makes 21K a year and the other parent makes 100K a year, the parent making considerably more should contribute to the other party making the child's home and needs equally comfortable.

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.

Does a non custodial parent still have to pay child support when the custodial parent is in jail?
Yes, unless the non-custodial parent gets custody. In that case the non-custodial parent must file a motion to terminate the child support order. The child support should be paid to whoever has custody of the child. If it's not the non-custodial parent then the child support order should be modified to reflect the party that should receive the child support payments. You have to pay for your child so you have to pay to the one who has custody while the other parent is in prison. If the state has custody you will pay the state.

This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.
