Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. The court has the discretion to order child support and educational expenses for children attending high school when the child is 18 or for 90 days after graduation. Child support will not be awarded for a child 19 years or older. If the child suffers from disabilities that require care and expense, the court may award support until he or she reaches 21 years of age.

Can child support be obtained in divorce for college student in Illinois?
Not exactly. In Illinois, child support cannot be ordered past the age of majority but "education support" can be. One or even both parents may be ordered to pay education support, based on the child's academic expenses. Education support must also be ordered by a judge, separately from a child support order.
Do you have to pay child support if your child is eighteen in college and has a medical condition?
A person may have to pay child support even if the child is 18 and in college and has a medical condition. This may be true if the person owes back child support.
Do you still receive child support in TX after age 18 if child is in college?
Yes, if a child is actively enrolled in college as a full-time student, the custodial parent will still receive child support. Once the child is done with college or if they drop out, the child support will stop.

When the child is adopted or have reached 18 or 21 depending on what the child support order says and state law. Even when it ends at 18 it can be possible to ask for support until the child is 21 and finish college.

Does child support apply if child is 16 and not enrolled in college?
Yes. The minor child still have to eat and wear clothes etc even though they are not in school. You have to at least pay until they are 18.
Do you have to pay child support on a 18 year old living on their own but in college?
Even though you may not legally be bound to pay child support, your child does not stop being your child and you do not stop being their parent just because they turned 18 and you should continue to support them. The Above answer was not the answer to this individuals question at all. You may still have to pay child support depending on what state your child support was filed out of. Double check and see if child support stops at the Age of Majority or if you have a few years after that, also check at what age child support stops when they are enrolled as a full time student in college.
Where can you get another student loan to pay your ex child support if you are a full-time college student and he won't let you talk to your kids unless you give him money?
AnswerThe short answer is, you can't. You can't get a student loan specifically to pay your child support. You may be able to get a private loan from a bank, but you will have to pay that back eventually as well.The previous answer was false on every point:"Actually, child support payments are based on your income. If you are a full time student with no job, you have zero income, so you do not have to pay child support."Incorrect. Nearly every state has a minimum child support amount. Most states assume that you can earn minimum wage, so your child support will be based on that amount, even if you don't have a job."Also, your child support payments after graduation will be based on income after expenses of the student loan, so it should be small. Pay high payments on your student loans and you can justify not having to pay child support, or very little."Incorrect. Child support payments are based on income, but do not take into account any loan payments at all. Most states calculate a "self-support" amount (the amount required for food and housing) and subtract that from your total income, but they do not subtract car payments, student loans, or any other type of debt. You might be able to get a hardship exception if you can prove to a judge that you can't afford the required child support payment amount."You should go to school as long as you can, because the longer you are in school, the fewer years you need to actually pay child support."Incorrect. You must still pay child support, regardless of school attendance."By the way, if you are a woman, you should be receiving the child support, since it is the man that should be paying."Absolutely false! If the father has full custody of the child, why would he be required to pay child support to the mother?! In every state, the parent who has less than 50% custody of the child owes child support to the parent who has more than 50% custody, regardless of gender.
Can a woman file for child support fifteen years later to a man that has no idea he might be the father and has not seen nor spoke to the woman or child in fifteen years?
Yes DNA is DNA. As long as the child is 18 and under (or 21 and under if he/she is a student) child support can be filed for, recovered and even back dated
Does a father still have to pay child support if the child is older then 18?
It depends on the state. Some states require that child support be paid until the child graduates high school, even if they're over 18. A few states require child support up to age 21 if they're enrolled in college and still living with the custodial parent.

If your 17-year-old daughter gets married in Texas do you still have to pay child support?
Child support usually ends when a child reaches age 18, or if a full-time high school student, upon graduation even if the child already is 18. But child support also ends upon a child's emancipation (becoming an adult) by marriage. Check out Texas Family Code section 154.001.
