Q: Can I stop child support if me && my childs father agrees to it?.
Me && my childs father went to court in September about custody. He put himself on child support, but now we are finally trying to get back on good terms && moving back in with each other && want the child support to stop. Can we agree to stop it, or is it the law in Alabama that child support cannot be stopped?.
A: Hello, you would need to go back to court to have the child support and possibly custody modified. It helps that you both agree; however, child support is not waived just because mom and dad have had a change of heart. Please contact counsel in your local area to help navigate the court system and do the proper filings. Best of luck and congrats on working things out!
