living, in many states, this has no affect on one’s obligation to support the children. However, if the children are no longer living with the parent receiving child support, this may possibly be a reason for a paying parent to file to modify the child support order during this period perhaps.

call them - I am not sure. Here is their contact info: [NOTE TO STUDENT: GOOGLE THE STATE + Child Support Enforcement TO TRY TO FIND A LINK FOR THE WRITER]
