You have to pay child support pursuant to the current order until the order has been modified by the court. Therefore, if the child no longer lives with the custodial parent, file a petition to modify child support. If you can get the custodial parent to agree with the modification, the matter can be resolved faster with a consent petition than a disputed petition for modification.
