Child support obligations are defined by the terms of the court order and existing state laws. A parent should never arbitrarily cease paying support regardless of the circumstances that arise. He or she should seek legal counsel to determine if there are grounds for the support order to be amended or rescinded.
Yes, custodial payments are for the support and care of a child until they are 18.
Yes. Child support in most states makes you obligated to pay until your child is 18, or graduates from high school. If your child is under 18 and in trade school, you still have to pay.
I don't live in Cali but in most states the only time a child support case ends is when a child turns 18 or graduates from high school whichever comes last and not to exceed 19. Her having a baby should not have anything to do with your support.
Depends on the State. However if he is not a full-time high school student and is age 18 child support is no longer an obligation.
If this is what you mean by "emancipated": I'm pretty sure you're not legally obligated to support her financially, as long as she is at least 18 years old.
In there is a court order in place for support the terms must be met until/unless the court rules otherwise. Boarding school would be considered a form of education and both parents are obligated to pay for the education of their child/children.
Yes, but the court modification could take longer.
The obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age unless the child is still in high school - in which case the support ends upon the child's graduation from high school, or the child's 19th birthday, whichever occurs first.see link

If by your state laws, you are obligated to pay beyond high school, than you can request that your payments go directly to the children, PLUS file a motion that the amount the residential parent was obligated to spend on the children, also be sent to them. In a Missouri case, when the child took up residence with her boyfriend, while away at college, and was no longer living with the mother, the mother was obligated to pay her part, based on the child support guidelines, to the daughter. The mother lost on appeal. It was her belief that only the father should be obligated. With two child support payments, the daughter was getting $1800 a month for living expenses.See related link below
Child support in the state of California continues until the child stops going to school. including college.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the decree, provisions for the support of a child shall be terminated by emancipation of the child unless the child is a high school student when he reaches the age of eighteen (18). In cases where the child becomes emancipated because of age, but not due to marriage, while still a high school student, the court-ordered support shall continue while the child is a high school student, but not beyond completion of the school year during which the child reaches the age of nineteen (19) years. Provisions for the support of the child shall not be terminated by the death of a parent obligated to support the child. If a parent obligated to pay support dies, the amount of support may be modified, revoked, or commuted to a lump-sum payment, to the extent just and appropriate in the circumstances. Emancipation of the child shall not terminate the obligation of child support arrearages that accrued while the child was an unemancipated minor. Section 403.213 see links
