In the majority of states the age of emancipation is 18, if that is the case, the young lady would be of legal age to move where she choses. However, because she has not finished high school the child support order might be remain valid as long as she resides with a parent or legal guardian. State laws would determine exactly how such a situation is viewed in terms of emancipation and support obligations.
Your daughter is no longer a minor so custody or child support is no longer an issue unless the courts have adjusted this in their recommendations, such as: You have to pay child support for your daughter's education. Then you must! As you know education doesn't come cheap so most women can't afford to pay for their kids education. I suggest you see a lawyer and go over the conditions that were met when you divorced. If your daughter is working or her boyfriend is working and all you need to do is pay for her education you may just be able to squeak out of it. In addition never, ever arbitrarily cease court order child support payments. A person taking such action can face a contempt citation which can further complicate the issue. It should also be noted that the age of 18 is not necessarily the legal age of majority or the age that was stipulated in the original support agreement. Four states have a higher age of majority than 18, in Alabama and Nebraska the age is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21.
In most states the legal age of majority is 18. What determines the length of time that child support is to be paid are the terms of the child support order. The best choice is for the obligated parent to have the support order assessed by a qualified family law attorney
Yes (but you knew the answer to that already).
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
A step father has no legal obligation to support a step child.
No but your mother can. The child support goes to her and not you.
The Child Support Agency sends a form to the mother asking for details about the child's father, it is compulsory for the mother to give these details. It is also compulsory for the father to pay to support their child, I am not sure if there is a way around it. I am quite sure they don't ask any other relatives.
Yes , the biological father will be held legally responsible for the support of his child .
Depends if you are a good father or not. If you are a good father you pay if you are not you don't.
State laws vary but the Child Support Enforcement Division of the State Department of Social Services may be able to pursue child support from the paternal grandparents of the child as long as the father of the child is under eighteen. The mother should visit the local family court and ask to speak with an advocate.

You cannot make your mother-in-law pay you child support. The only person who you can demand child support from is the father of the child.
Child support would generally go to the person raising the child. Mother might even be ordered to pay to father.

It depends on the state you live in and the age of the child.
It depends on the state. In most states the father would still be required to pay child support, even though he is living with the mother and the child. However, if the father was financially supporting the mother and child, it's likely that the courts would suspend the child support order.
