Does a non custodial parent have to continue to pay child support if the child lives with the non custodial for a period of a year and the non custodial parent is almost 30 thousand dollars behind in?
The way it breaks down is for every month the child was with the custodial parent, that child had needs. those needs needed to be met and paid for by on of the parents, generally on a half and half basis. If the dues have been paid up until the point when the child moves into a non-custodial parents home, the laws become fuzzy, but still favor the custodial parent. Even if the child goes to live with the non-custodial parent while he/she still owes money for past due child support, he/she still must pay that as if it were a debt to a creditor. Even after the 18th birthday of the child, the “bill” still is a valid debt, and legal action may be taken if unpaid. I have known a man in his 70’s paying past due child support on 3 of his children ages 40, 46, and 53.
