Q: If me and my exwife agree for our son to come live with me (the father) can the child support be stopped
A: Short answer is yes, but you would need to file a modification with the court, along with the appropriate child support forms. Otherwise, you are at risk of being held liable for unpaid child support if you do not let the court and the state know the circumstances have changed. Your child is also, possibly, owed child support by the mother paid to you, and that issue needs to be addressed by the court. You should seek counsel in your area to make sure you properly protect yourself. Best of luck!
