If the child is still in high school, child support continues until the child graduates or turns 19, whichever occurs first.
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.
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.
I am a paralegal student and just happen to be discussing child support in family law. I live in Texas and here once the child turns 18 child support stops it also stops when is no longer attending school, has his own family, also meaning if he has a child of his own and joins the military. hope this helps
Once the child has aged out, request a final judgment of support owed from the family court judge. With this you can file a civil lawsuit, however this usually requires the use of an attorney. California does have Doc Prep services, which are paalegals that can help you do it pro se.
Regardless of whether or not your child graduates high school in PA, once he/she reaches the age of 18, child support is absolved.
You are obligated to support your child from the day he was born until he turns 18.

I heard that once they turn 21 you no longer have to pay child support.unless they make you pay child support as long as they are in school.
It runs to end of high school. see link below for more info.
You wont have to pay child support IF the child was adoption by another man, but if the child was not you will have to pay until the child turns 18. You will have to pay back any back support you owe. Hope this helped you a little
Child support remains.
In most places, once the child turns 18 and is not in school any longer, then child support is not an option. Even suing for unpaid child support is not possible in many states at that point.
No, an unborn "child" is not yet a child. The child support can be requested once the child is born.

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!
No, child support does not start until the child is born. Once the child is born the mother can seek child support and it can be deducted from the father's pay.
Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies. see links below
