No you will not lose child support if you move. However, if you are looking to move out of state, most custody agreements do state that you must notify the ex spouse beforehand.

No. Child support is owed by the parent to the child. You may have to file to have child support money go to your new address.

This honestly depends on precisely how your agreement is worded and if there was room left to be able to move out of state. Most include a clause where you can not moved beyond a certain number of miles, with out either getting your ex-spouse to agree to it, or having to get a court order modification.

It depends. If you move states and jobs they are going to have to recalculate your new income to figure out of the amount of child support needs to change.

This depends on the state where you live. In most states, the child support is still owed to the child. However, if you move out of state, away from the father, without his consent or prevent visitation after moving, you could be held in contempt of court.

If you have custody of the children and there was nothing in the decree forbidding a move, you will not loose the support money.
