Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies.

Is there a statute of limitations for filing a petition for child support in a divorce case filed in Virginia?

You have asked a complicated question. The time to request a child support order is during the divorce proceeding although the custodial parent can request child support and arrears any time before the child reaches eighteen years of age. For a child over the age of eighteen, when there is no existing child support order, you should visit the court and ask the clerk or consult with a private attorney who can review the details of your situation and explain your rights and options.
