Florida Child Support

Under the present statute child support generally ends at 18 but continues after 18 if there was an independent agreement between the other parent that you would continue to pay for certain expenses (i.e. college expenses or pay until a different age); if the child remains dependent on her parents because of some disability; or if the child is still in high school with expectation of graduating before age 19. The old statute requires a court order modifying or terminating the child support order.

*A new law that modifies when child support will end is set to take effect on October 1, 2010. The new statute provides that all child support orders entered after October 1st must provide a date at which the order must be terminated or modified.

Does the obligated parent have to continue paying child support when the child reaches 18 and continues their education and if so would the child need to live with that parent?

My Uncle had to pay child support for his daughter until she graduated from college. She has a masters degree. Well, he had to keep paying, but the money did not go to her mom, it went to his daughter. She lived off and on with her mom. * It depends upon the terms of the child support order. The order itself will not stipulate that the parent has to continue to pay for higher education but it will designate the age at which child support ends. Other than there being a standing support order parents have no legal obligation to pay for their children's education after they have reached the state's age of majority.


Does child support continue if the custodial parent is in jail for a long time?
