Re: names are changed but not adopted
The child support obligation continues even though the children's names are changed. You shouldn't have to keep paying day-care expenses if there are none, but you'll need to ask the court to modify the order to reflect that there are no longer day-care expenses. Court offices have the forms you would need to request a modification.
