If you are subject to a child support order and your child has moved in with you, you will not have to continue paying child support, but you do have to go to a judge to have the child support order removed before you can stop paying.

That’s an extremely important caveat, and if you stop paying before a judge signs off, you may be subject to a variety of unpleasant and expensive penalties.

So to recap: If your child has moved in with you, you need to seek a modification of your child support order.

Keep paying child support as you normally would until the modification is finalized. Only then can you stop paying child support.

When you need a modification of a child support order, or if you’ve accidentally stopped paying before requesting a modification, the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help straighten your situation out.
