Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina
Child Support Obligation To Child With No Legal Guardian
Do I have to continue paying child support? My daughter is 16 years old. She lives with her boyfriend and his parents. She had a baby in September of this year. Her mother abandoned her. I don't have custody of my daughter.Her boyfriend and father of her baby is 18 years old. Apparently no one has legal custody or is legal guardian of her at this time. I currently pay support to the court where she used to live. Her aunt still gets her child support checks and keeps them for her own use not my daughters.

Re: Child Support // Emancipated Child
Sounds like your daughter is emancipated. This means she is no longer dependant on her parents for support. The proof is fact-specific, and will require a hearing on your motion to "terminate child support."
