If child support is suppose to end when a child turns 18 state of Pa. Can the child still get support while in college The child lives in Pa. Support was granted from the state of Maryland.?
The law that applies is the law of the governing state of Maryland even if child lives in another state. If Maryland law permits support for post secondary education, then it would be granted. Even if you change the venue to PA and record the child support order in PA, the law must still be enforced based on the original governing state. However, I would certainly not move your child support order to PA since PA law does not allow for any post secondary support unless it is in the orginial child support order or some other written agreement.
