I'm ordered to pay child support thru Montgomery AL court system. I just recently found out my son that lives with his mother has quit school and obtained his GED and is not physically living at his mother's address. Can I have the child support stopped?

A: You did not say how old he is. If he is self supporting and 18 years old, he might be able to be emancipated. Otherwise, you have to keep paying support...... but you should be ordered to pay it to the people who are supporting your son. If he has moved out.... what don't you ask for custody of him?
