What if the child stops having a relationship with the parent paying support?
A lack of a relationship between the parent and the child either because the parents agreed to limit the relationship between the paying parent and a child or the paying parent decided not to have a relationship with the child does not stop a child from qualifying for child support. However, a child who did not have a relationship with the paying parent during their childhood cannot make a claim for retroactive support once they voluntarily withdraw from parental care/control.
