The date that child support obligations are to terminate will be stipulated in the child support order. Generally it will read until the age of majority (18 except in Nebraska which is 19) or state a specified age and conditions. Child support is for the child/children and the parent who retains physical custody must use it for that purpose. An 18-year-old for all practical purposes is considered an adult and the child support payment legally belongs to him or her. The custodial parent can either return the money to the paying parent or give it to the named child. He or she cannot withhold the money from a child who has reached the age of majority, nor use it for their own purposes.

∙ 16y agoIn most states/most cases, the 'other' parent will continue to pay child support on each child until they reach 18 years of age, at that point the child support should stop. In some states, payments will continue if the child goes on to college and will stop when the child leaves college or turns 21, whichever comes first.

∙ 14y agoCheck your divorce/custody papers! Mine states that his dad must pay until he reaches the age of 19, graduates high school or becomes self-supporting (whichever comes first). Child support can be extended until the age of 23 if my son goes to college and does not have a steady job, but the support may go straight to my son and bypass me.

Is a divorced father obligated to pay for college in Indiana?
If you were order by the court to pay child support, that support will continue until the child either graduates college or stops attending. I do not believe the court can order you to pay for college. However, as a father you should be willing to help.
My daughter will be 18 and graduating soon and she will be attending college. In Arizona does her father still pay child support as long as she is in college Does she need to be living at home also?
If the divorce decree is from the State of Arizona, the answer is NO. He will not be required to continue to pay child support once your daughter turns 18 or until she graduates from high school, but not past the age of 19, UNLESS your divorce decree specifies that child support is to continue until she graduates from college. Arizona Termination of support at 18 or until child graduates from high school, but not past 19 No statute or case law holding parents to a duty to college support in the absence of an agreement; courts will enforce contracts to provide such support.

Your son is in college in Indiana and plans to marry before graduation Does his father still have to pay child support until he graduates?
Marriage is an emancipating event. Generally speaking, child support terminates upon emancipation. So, if you want/need the child support to continue, he better wait until after graduation to marry.
