Does child support in Texas stop at 18 or go through the age of18?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Under federal law, there's no statute of limitations, provided the claim is renewed regularly. Contact State Attorney about doing this.

Answer 3

It will only stop after the child does complete 18 years .

Answer 4

In a State where the age of majority is 18, the custodial parent may sue for child support after that age only if the child is severely disabled.

Answer 5

Yes, there is a time limit...Unless the child is mentally disabled or has a severe disability, the court will not support this action.

Answer 6

Forever; there is no statute of limitations on unpaid child support.
