Joint Custody. 15yo child left other parents house 6 mo ago. Has no desire to return.

If I were to modify my sons visitation to 50/50 with his dad, and stop future child support payments, would i still be entitled to the arrears that was owed? Or would the arrears be waive because of the modification?

answered on Apr 11, 2023
The arrears are not automatically waived. Just be careful what you sign as they can include a provision to waive them, end all child support obligations, or include some other language that may be interpreted as waiving arrears.

It appears that the child might have changed residency after being in Nevada for 6 months or more. You might now need to get Dad's permission to relocate or file a motion with the Court.
