Divorced couple living together and child support obligations

If the mother and father are living together following a divorce, does the dad have to pay her child support while she is living there? If not, is she entitled to pay it back?

Re: Divorced couple living together and child support obligations

See what the divorce decree states.

Some of the new decress state that if the parties remarry then c.s. stops.

The decree is the best place to start.

Of course, the dad should be keeping a detailed calendar that shows the dates they live together.

In this case, paperwork is his best friend.

Document...document...document! Keep every receipt and proof of money paid for the family.

Good luck!
