Child support is paid as long as the child is a minor, get emancipated or when the child support agreement says so.
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
While elementary school is mandatory, high school is not. Unless the support order specifically states that the child needs to be attending high school in order for support to be paid, the answer is "NO".
Yes, if the non custodial parent wanted to file suit to have the support order amended or rescinded it should have been done when the child dropped out of school and/or moved from the custodial parent's residence. A child support order is valid until the child reaches the age of majority for the state where the order was issued or the age stated in the support order or unless the order is changed or ceased by order of the court.
Typically child support ceases when the child reaches the age of majority unless the court decides to continue support while the child is in school, whether it be high school or college. You can certainly go to court and request an order of support, but unless you were previously ordered to pay support to the custodial parent beyond age eighteen while the child was in their care it is unlikely an order will be imposed.
You file for custody as the child should be living with one of them. The custodial parent can be charged with abandonment. if the child has married, get the support stopped, or have the child emancipated.
of course you still have to pay child support, that child came from YOUR loins. You are responsible for providing for that child, even if you choose not to be in their life. Maybe if you stuck around they wouldn't have dropped out to begin with. Just saying..
For as long as the child is dependentYou pay child support in Nova Scotia for as long as the child is a minor and in school....ie - the child turns 18 but is still in high school until June of that year...you would continue to pay child support until the child graduates from high school. If the child continues on to post secondary schooling and lives at home with the custodial parent, the other parent continues to pay child support for the duration of the education process. However, if the child moves out to his or her own residence during the post secondary schooling process, the paying parent may then make the child support payments directly to the child.Hope this helps!Actually the age of majority in NS is 19, and under the divorce act you must continue paying while the person you support is still considered a "child of the marriage". basically until they are 19, if they are living with and under the care and control of the payee...even if they work and do not go to school, you will have to continue paying child support. You must have your child support order varied in order to stop the payments.
I am not a lawyer, however, once the student graduates and is no longer a full-time student, the child support stops, unless there are extenuation circumstances ordered by the court.
No. His parent might be required to continue only if he is attending school. A person with a full time job is an adult.
No, once the child reaches the age of 18, child support is finished except in special cases such as the child has physical symptoms that would refrain him/her from living a normal life like others.
The duty to pay child support stops at age 18 except when the child has not yet finished high school, and in that case it will continue until the child completes high school, but not past age the child's 20 th birthday.
No.
