Re: Signed off on support

Not sure what your question is. The duty to support your child runs to the child through whoever is caring for the child, so if the child is with somebody else, you need to pay support to the other adult.

Or alternatively, you need to care directly for the child. Support enforcement is not going to allow an obligor to stop supporting a child just because the obligee is no longer caring for the child.

I hope this helps. If you have a different question, or if this just is not what you were asking, please just let me know.
