When the child dies.nym9 said:NY State.
A mother of two is currently getting child support. I would like to know what circumstances, if any (such as the mothers marriage, marriage + the new husband adopting the stepchild, etc) are the fathers no longer required to pay child support.
and if the CP's spouse adopts the kidsBelizeBreeze said:When the child dies.
When the child reaches 21
When the child emancipates
When the payor dies.

Of course! Unless another person is willing to take 100% financial responsibilty for your children....which he/she is only legally obligated to do thru adoption, YOU are still financially responsible for your children! Sounds like your trying to get out of this.......nym9 said:I noticed the poster before you left that one out!
Thats the one I was asking about to confirm. So as long as the spouse doesn't adopt, the child support continues.

Don't you just love the Dead beat Dad's? Wacked? Dude, you can't even take care of your child. You want to simply dismiss your child as if it is trash.nym9 said:whacko
Regarding the legal differences between step-children and adopted children, I learned that adoption implies legal responsibily, which also means any child support coming in would stop. Thats all I needed to know, thanks posters (except the whacko)
