What is the legal age you stop paying child support in South Carolina?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

{| |- | Like most states in North Carolina, until they reach the age of 18. Once they reach the age of 18, there is no legal responsibility to maintain or look after them. They do not have to provide support or co-sign contracts for them. |}

Answer 3

Termination of child support is determined by the child support order and nothing else. The order may cite a specific age or "age of majority" in Virginia that age is 18.

Answer 4

I THINK THAT IT IS 18 BUT AS LONG AS THE CHILD IS STILL IN SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE, THEN THE ABSENT PARENT IS REQUIRED TO PAY AS LONG AS THE CHILD IS STILL IN SCHOOL.
