Do you have to pay child support after your child is 18 years old if your child is going to college and living at home with her mother in California?

No. Child support ends at the age of 18 in California. Once an individual turns 18, they have reached what is known as the age of majority, and are then considered adults.
Regardless of whether the son/daughter is still a dependent of the former legal guardian, child support does not apply.
The good news is that through either grants or through federally funded loans, the student should be able to afford any public University within the state of California regardless of income.

∙ 11y agoAll terms of your child support should be in your support order. Some states do allow for child support to be continued until the child is in school/college. Review your order and, if needed, contact the court that issued it for any further information.

∙ 11y agoOften a support order will address such issues as whether or not support should continue while the "child' continues his or her education even if said person has reached the age of majority. However, such support has to be reasonably based. This means that the obligated parent will not have to support an adult child if that person chooses to be a professional student.
In most cases the court will allow child support to cease when the child reaches the legal age regardless of his or her educational status.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe obligation often ends when the child turns eighteen or graduates from high school. However, special arrangements can be made in specific instances for specific cases.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. In some states child support for college kids is paid until the age of 21, and other state, until the children graduate.

∙ 6y agoNo. A person who is 18 is an adult and their education level has no bearing on child support unless you agreed to pay for education.
