If the child is still in high school, child support continues until the child graduates or turns 19, whichever occurs first.

A child that drops out of high school earning a GED in Florida does the father still pay child support once the child turns 18?

It certainly depends on your local laws but usually when the child you are paying support for turns the age of majority, does not live at the home anymore or drops out of school the support payments are to stop. I would check as soon as possible with your local laws as well check your age of majority - you may be intitled to receive some money back.


Can you file for child support when your children are grown?

Yes, within the limitations of state law. At the maximum, in Ohio, a mother has until the child turns age 23 to petition the courts to establish paternity and to request 18 years of retroactive child support. In most states the limit is age 18, with an average of 5 years retroactive. Note that in Mississippi, the child is not an adult until age 21.

Can parents be required to help support their 18-year-old child once he has moved out and are they still legally responsible in any way in the state of California?

Once a child is 18 the parents are not responsible for the child. Everything that the child does when s/he moves out is his or her own responsibility. However the parents do help support the child but can not do things for the child. They arent REQUIRED to help. But they do help if the child asks. Also, the child is an adult so it would not make much sense if the child could not do for him or herself. That is what the parents raised them to do. If you need support, ask but sometimes the parents support there child because they feel that they should in order to point you in a right direction. But once you are 18 you are on your OWN!

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later.
