Does child support end if child attends more schooling after age 18 in Wisconsin?

Answer 1

Under Wisconsin law, a parent's duty to support his or her child continues until age 18, or age 19 if the child is still enrolled in high school or pursuing a high school equivalency course (GED). "Emancipation Notices" will be sent to both parents 90 days before the verified date of graduation or the 18th birthday of their youngest child. The order for current support will end when the youngest child turns 18 unless a parent shows documentation to the child support agency that the child attends high school or is enrolled in a program to obtain his or her GED. If past-due child support is owed, support cases are still enforceable. If the order for current support ends, and past-due child support is owed, the parent should check with the child support agency to make sure he or she has a court order for payment on the past-due support. Income withholding may continue at the same level until past-due child support is paid in full.

Answer 2

It can. It depends on the original (and subsequent custody and support orders). Additionally, it depends on the state of jurisdiction. Refer to your paperwork. If you aren't happy with the order, petition the court for a change. Just be ready for the courts to not only rule against you, but to modify it more in favor of the children.
