The benefit is that your child is getting financial support from BOTH parents for all the things that he she needs. Food, shelter, clothing, education, etc. These things really DO add up!
Child support is intended for the child's benefit, not the mother's.
Only if you are found to be a unsuitable parent. Regardless of who has them you still have to pay child support. If you mean that you support your parents, that is optional while child support is not.
Only if he's included in the claim.
If on SSI, no. If on SSD, there's a separate child benefit check, but you still need to file for a modification in your support. see links below.
I believe all child support owed is always there and can still be enforced.I know someone who is in their 30's and their mother is now finally getting the child support owed to her out of her ex's social security income.
If a parent drops a child support claim and the award is reversed through the courts, yes any amount that is over due is considered to be in arrears and is still owed.
The child support money is part of a court order between your two parents, for your benefit. It is up to them. If you are still in school at eighteen and not employed full time, your custodial parent may still receive support.
Only if an order already existed and the claim is still active.
If an order already exist, and provided the owed parent is not maintaining a claim.
It will need to be modified, but if he goes on SSD, there's a separate child benefit check. If SSI, no as SSI is not attachable for child support, so the obligation will be suspended.
Generally, no because he would no longer be providing support for the child nor sharing a household, but there might be cases where the child would still qualify as a dependent for tax purposes. Usually someone else would qualify to claim the child instead.
Technically, he's still on the hook. However, the child's RSDI benefit counts as child support, so it's unlikely he'll have to pay anything himself.
