if the child is 18 or over you shouldn't have to pay any child support at all unless you have back child support
In general, emancipated children are not eligible for child support - they are considered adults.
This child would probably be considered emancipated and therefore no child support would be awarded.
In my view, such a child should be considered "emancipated" and, therefore, support should end.
i think you should be able to because then you can support yourselves better because you only have to pay half the rent and you have more money to spend on food and clothes ans stuff like that
No, your child will not be emancipated because she is pregnant and her parents still have to support her until she is.
No
If you're in the US... A child saying he is emancipated means nothing (I can say I'm God, but that doesn't mean I am :). If the child actually is legally emancipated, then child support ceases.
Yes, if there is a support order in place. If so, I suggest that you ask that the order be terminated because it appears that this child is emancipated.
The courts will mostly likely consider a child who enters the military as "emancipated," and, therefore, terminate child support. But don't stop paying on your own!
No. A 15 year old is still a minor, but now one with a child. Becoming pregnant does not make a minor emancipated. To become emancipated a minor child needs to go before a judge to have him/her determine if she can support herself and the baby. The judge will want to know the means of support and other living conditions. Being emancipated means that a person can support themselves, have a job, pay the rent, pay for babysitting, and do all things needed to live. I doubt that a judge will allow a 15 year old minor to become emancipated with a baby without the needed support.
There are times when a child prefers to be on their own and asks to be emancipated. When a child is legally emancipated, you are finally free from a support obligation.
At the age of 16, if you can prove to the court that you have a way to support yourself you may become emancipated.
