With joint custody do you pay child support for the months the child lives with you?
Yes, this is an overal cost load for your portion of the child's care. It is independent of where the child is unless both parties agree to changes. It also depends on what kind of custody you're talking about, physical of legal? Legal custody has nothing to do with child support If you have 50/50 physical custody, that's way different Child support may not even be exchanged. It all depends on how much money is made by BOTH parents.
If CPS places a child in your custody in Texas how long do you have to wait before trying to adopt the child and how much does an adoption like this cost?
It depends if it is a kinship placement or not. If the child is related to you, you can file for adoption as part of the termination of parental rights or anytime thereafter. If it is a kinship placement, the case worker should explore the possibility of you adopting the child as part of their permanancy plan for the little one. If this is NOT a kinship placement and you are a foster parent, you need to have the child in your care continuously for one year before you have standing to sue for custody/adoption of the child. Hope that helped some.

My daughter's mom dropped her off with me over 5 years ago. We dropped child support no change was made to legal custody. What should I do to ensure that I have legal and physical custody?
You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order. It would go much easier if the child's mother would consent to the petition for custody.You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order.
