At what age does child support payments end? Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. If the child is already otherwise emancipated, payments will stop at the time of emancipation. If the child is still in primary or secondary school when he or she reaches the age of 18, support payments will continue until that child graduates, ceases to attend school on a regular basis, fails to make satisfactory academic progress towards graduation or reaches the age of 20 - whichever of these comes first. Based on its discretion, the court may order payments to cease at age 18, regardless of graduation date or any other factors. North Carolina
First contact child support enforce on their procedures for modifying or discontinuing support. Take a woman with you to actually ask the question as sometimes they are less accommodating of men. If they have no procedure, you will need to file a motion to modify support with the court. This is similar to a normal modification of support, except you are asking to have support stopped. This can be done Pro Se.

In most cases, no. Child support in Wisconsin ends when the child is 18 and has graduated high school.
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
Child support is for the custodial parent.Be warned though that courts have ordered custodial fathers to pay when the mother make considerably less. This is most common in California.
That is first dependent on state and when support ends in your state. Also, it will take months to get the modification, depending on the state. In Missouri, after 30 days, the support order can be stopped. see links below
Generally the obligor is responsible for paying the arrears even if the child reaches the age when support is no longer required. However, the custodial parent must stay on top of the issue and file the necessary motion for contempt and/or child support enforcement claim.
A non-custodial parent is responsible to pay child support whether or not the custodial parent has a boyfriend or a husband or not. This responsibility continues until the child reaches the age of 18 years unless the child dies or the court takes some action to end that responsibility.
Some actions of minors can stop child support, though this can vary according to state law. If the child is incarcerated, child support to the custodial parent stops, but support may have to be paid to the state youth penal system. Also, if the child takes action to become emancipated, support stops.
Typically child support ceases when the child reaches the age of majority unless the court decides to continue support while the child is in school, whether it be high school or college. You can certainly go to court and request an order of support, but unless you were previously ordered to pay support to the custodial parent beyond age eighteen while the child was in their care it is unlikely an order will be imposed.
In some states it does run until age 22. If it doesn't, than no. see links below
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
No. If you are under 18 and not graduated from high school, you should live with either of your parents. If you attempt to file child support for yourself, the court can make you live with the parent that you request child support from, if you are not already living with your custodial parent.
