Can Kentucky continue to maintain a child support order in Indiana after a child is emancipated?

Indiana would maintain it until the child is 20...

It depends, first, on what the judge's order says, if anything, about it. Then it depends on state law, and you don't say what state.\n\nIn general, if the mother has to move out of state to get or keep a job or to be near persons she needs for support, she would be granted permission, but she should ask for it.\n\nArrangements for continued visitations would be a crucial part of any proceeding.

NO...the US Supreme Court ruled several years ago that the prior assets and current income of a parent's spouse (In this case, you) cannot be presumed to be available for the purposes of child support or spousal support, even in states where all income is otherwise considered to be community property and all debts considered to be joint obligations...that means you are not legally on the hook for his kids and his ex wife can't try to get your house...in a nutshell.\nIf you two marry and he stops working or something, they can haul his tail to prison if they have cause to believe that he's willfully avoiding his obligation, but your paycheck cannot be considered in deciding or fulfilling his support order.\nYou will want to consult an attorney specialising in family law about specifics such as whether you should file your taxes jointly or seperately, how a jointly purchased home should be deeded and to draw up a prenuptual agreement about any inheritance you may recieve in the future and MAKE OUT A WILL....Both of you.\n(the Supreme Court ruling left some confusion about the distribution of assets aquired by one party but within the marriage)

As in you want to release someone from support obligations or you feel its' time you stopped paying child support?\n\nThe answer to your question is probably going to be "court order".\n\nIn any event I'd recommend contacting your county courthouse and requesting the information from an authority.\n\nBest of Luck,\nArmus

In georgia you can appeal your child support payments every 2 years.  If you have greater than half custody, and can prove it, you most likely can get it stopped, maybe even start receiving some.

First, if you have been giving her money, make sure to get all of your cancelled checks and receipts in order.\n\nAs for petitioning for back child support ... in most states, yes she can!  However, there is usually a time limit.  In some states three years, in other states it can be longer. \n\nI strongly suggest that you go to a local office of your state's Support Enforcement or Support Collection office.  Ask them for copies of all documents relevant to the TN Child Support & Collections Standards Act.  This is where you will find your answers.\n\nIf she does petition the Family Court, then you should have a good lawyer with you.  Remember, your level of familarity with the TN Support & Collections Standards Act is in direct relation to how much you'll have to pay an attorney.  If you thoroughly arm yourself with knowledge about your state laws, you'll be able to prepare much of your own case documentation, thereby reducing the amount you pay to an attorney.\n\nBeen there, done that, and it ain't fun! Best of Luck to you.\n\nEdited}\n\nTo qualify the above statement, let me add that I do not reside in your state.  TN may have different laws than the states that I have dealt with.  You should find your answer in the Standards Act to which I referred.  Also, if the 19 yr old has emancipated, then any back support you may be ordered to pay should exclude any time following the emancipation.\n\nI have personal experience with this type of issue in two states, and have found that the courts display a bias toward the mother.  I really hope this all works out for you and that you're able to keep this out of the courts.

The answer is not a straight yes or no.  More information here is needed.  What state do you live in?  Do you currently have a child support order that he has violated?\n\nLet's take California for instance.  If you do not have a child support order already in place, then you and your daughter are screwed.  Constitutionally, the California courts are without authority to order back support which pre-dates your filing of a motion for support.  The court only has jurisdiction to order support from the date you file the motion forward.\n\nIf you do have a current child support order that he has not been paying then there are many ways to enforce the back support.  It does not vanish when your daughter turns 18.  He owes it all plus interest at 10% per year.  The best way to enforce is it to obtain a wage garnishment order from the superior court.  In addition, contact your local District Attorneys' office.  People who skip out on child support are akin to murderers in the eyes of the law.  It is serious business.\n\nFeel free to contact me through this service if you'd like to discuss the matter.

You could speak to your local Child Support Agency about having the jurisdiction changed. You could also obtain from your state Government the rules governing child support in that state. You could also try contacting your local representative in the state Assembly. You might also want to consult with your lawyer about starting procedures. Given that you have lived there for 15 years, you would have a good case for a change.

Unless your child is still in high school, or heading to college - child support is supposed to cease when they are 18.\n\nIf they ARE still in school full time & living at home, then it continues as usual until they are 24 (or no longer living at home, or no longer in school if that happens first)\n\n(I live in PA, thats how it works here...  & I know it's the same in MD too - not sure if it differs elsewhere)

I would personally steer clear of support kids unless it is a last ditch effort.  (They will take a very large percent of anything they collect and your local office will do it for free).  Is the support order going through a child support agency?  If not, you could apply for services whether you are the payer or receiver at your county support enforcement agency.  If you already have they will be able to give you the figure you are looking for.

The kids cannot drop the case or go after it themselves.  The mother supported them and she is due the money.  If the government supported them then he has to pay them.  My mom got her final child support payment from my father for my brother when he was in his late 20's.

Even if he signs over his parental rights, that doesn't resolve him of financial responsibility in most cases. It gets tricky when it crosses state lines however. Many states now have reciprical agreements, where support payments in one state will be honored (and enforced) by the other.\n\nYou would need to contact the family courts in Missouri to see if they will enforce child support payments ordered by a New Mexico court.

Courts Can Order Payment of College Expenses Even Though the Child Has Reached Majority.\nAt one time, majority was reached at age 21. When it was reduced by law to age 18, a new problem was presented: Could the court order a parent to pay for his or her children's college expenses as child support, despite the fact that they would be over 18 when the payments were made? In most states, that question has been answered in the affirmative - if the parent has sufficient resources - although the courts are not required to make such orders.\n\nwas there an agreement to provide support for college filed with the courts? if you are not financially able to pay the college expenses , no they cannot make you. They do not court order married custodial parents to pay college if they are where they are able to or not. I do not think they can force you to, or kids all over would be suing parents for financial payment for college.

If your mother received child support from the State in lieu of money from your dad, then she has nothing else coming and the State will go after him to recoup the monies they paid your mother.\n\nIf she received nothing, then it is a matter of the court and she (not you) must hire an attorney who is familiar with the procedures to go after him.

Below is the Attorney General's website for child support.  Your county district clerks office also may handle child support issues.

I know exactly what you're talking about.  My mother and I got custody of my nephew after my sister screwed up.  He was taken from her, we had a choice: foster home or with us.  I think its completely ridiculous to not put your child with family, that's her support system.  You can talk with the social worker.  Most social service departments (Department of Children and Families, Child Protective Services, Department of Children Society, etc.)  their goal is reunification with the natural birth mother.  We wanted to help my sister get him back until she started abusing drugs and alcohol again and married an abusive and violent piece of crap.  Now we are struggling to keep him far from that, and they are pushing for him to go back, even after her 3 DUI's and domestic violence charges in the last 3 years.  Every state is different, but hopefully someone at CPS can help you and you can start on the road to recovery and 'prove' yourself and follow the case plan.  Unless they terminate your parental rights, you always have the right to petition the court for replacement.  I wish you the best of luck!!!

The only way to change your child support if there is a court order is to go to the court that has jurisdiction (more than likely the court that ordered child support) and put in a Motion to change your current order.
