Can my child tell FRO to stop collecting child support from me? - BlogBite

Question: my son has been working full-time for a year now, he is over 18 but his mother is still receiving child support from the FRO (being collected from me). Can he call FRO and help me out? Tell them he is an adult now?

Answer: No - all issues related to FRO collection/enforcement must be dealt with by the person paying child support (payor) and the person receiving child support (recipient). If they do not agree on steps to be taken with FRO, the court needs to be involved.

My child is 18, why is FRO still collecting? - BlogBite

Question: my child is over 18 but FRO are still collecting child support from me.  Why is that?

Answer: the most basic answer to your question is:  "because they have not been told to stop".

Why have they not been told to stop collecting? There may be different reasons for this, for example (and this is not a complete list):

(a) your child is still entitled to child support, even though she/he more that 18 years old;

(b) neither the payor (the person paying support) nor the recipient (the person receiving support) have advised the FRO that the collection by FRO is to stop;

(c) the payor and the recipient do not agree that FRO collection should stop and a Court Order to this effect is needed. The payor has taken no steps to get that Order.
