I am the non -custodial parent paying child support. As of Jan 2007 my child was kicked out of her home by her custodial parent. She now resides with me. She is 17 and plans on staying with me her non custodial parent. Do I have to continue to pay support to her custodial parent? If no what action do I have to take to change the support order?

Re: child lives with non custodial parent now

There is still an order with the Domestic Relations Court where your support Order was entered. You need to file a modification Petition to change the current Order either to claim support since the child is now living with you or to end the current support order and get a credit for any arrears that may continue to charge against the Order until it is modified or terminated. You should contact domestic relations in the county where the order is entered immediately.
