Does a parent have to pay child support to an 18-year-old trying to get a GED instead of a high school diploma?

It depends upon the wording in the support order. Generally an order states until the child reaches the state age of majority and finishes high school. It is doubtful that the court would suspend support if the minor is making a good faith attempt at getting his/her GED, however, the time limit would have to be sen as reasonable. These basics do not apply if the child is considered disabled in some capacity. The safest option is to continue support payments, and if so inlclined, petition the court for a hearing to possibly modify the order.
