Child support is paid until a child becomes emancipated. In the State of Mississippi, the age of emancipation is twenty-one (21). Also, emancipation may refer to the emancipation that occurs before the child reaches the age of majority. NOTE: The noncustodial parent, not MDHS, shall petition the court for the relief sought.
Yes, until the child reaches the age of majority or otherwise outlined in the original support order. Dropping out of school does not confer emancipation in Mississippi so support must be paid as outlined by the court. Child support is not something you pay so the child will stay in school, it's for their living expenses until they are emancipated by virtue of reaching the age of majority.
Depends on what is stated in the divorce decree issued by the court. So maybe, or maybe not. Obtain a copy of the divorce decree, if you do not understand it consult an attorney.
No, it runs to age 21 as that is the age of majority in the state. see links below
The terms of the support order detemine when the parent's financial obligation ends. If the order was issued by a Mississippi court then it more than likely states, "at the age of majority", which is 21 in Mississippi.
You have to petition the court that filed the child support orders and prove to them the child no longer requires your support. If they concur, the orders will be ammended.
no, age of majority there is 21.
Yes. Child support is not something you pay so the child will stay in school, it's for their living expenses until they are emancipated and can support themselves.
Only if there was child support owed from before the child was 18. You are confusing child support with a deceased terminally ill parent's social security benefits given to their children after the death of the parent until the child graduates college. Child support only gets paid up unitl 18 years of age, unless there is money past due.
No.
The U.S Department of Labor states a child can work at the age of 16 in the state of Mississippi during school hours. Outside of school, a child 12 to 14 can work on a farm if a parent also works there.
No. His parent might be required to continue only if he is attending school. A person with a full time job is an adult.
Sole custody is when only 1 parent has the right to choose where their child goes to school, which doctor they see, and what religion they partake in. Child support is the money that the non-custodial parent will pay to help support the child.
probably
Can the custodial parent ask for child support for her children past the age of 18 if the children are full time college students?
You can be ordered to get a full time job. see links
