A: In general, stipulated orders are considered binding and enforceable by the court. However, whether or not the stipulated order affects child support payments would depend on the specific language and terms included in the order. It is important to review the language and terms of the stipulated order, as well as any subsequent orders issued by the court, to determine what is required in terms of child support payments. It may be helpful to consult with a family law attorney to review your case and advise you on your legal options.
