Generally no. Further, the payments cannot be automatically stopped without a review of the courts. See related links below.
If your court orders establishing child support has a end date spelled out such as "when the child reaches 18 and is graduated from high school" and this court order also contains language such as "no future orders of the court are required when this date is reach" then yes you can prorate the last month of child support to the last day the child is a minor and in this case graduated from high school. Also if your child support is being garnished by a child support office of a county then you will have to show that the conditions of the court order stopping child support on a specific date have happened and they will prorate your last garnishment for you.

The child support obligation continues past 18 years of age, as long as the child is unmarried, is a full-time high school student and is not self-supporting. In this case, the child support obligation will end when the child reaches 19 years of age or graduates high school, whichever of these occurs first.
He was laid off and got a reduction.
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 is removed from disability status by a court order.
Child support has nothing to do with the child's name. Just because you pay support, the mother is not obligated to give the child your last name. Many people feel that the child will be more comfortable having the same last name as the custodial parent.
yes
A child does not have to have the same last name as the biological father to receive child support from that father.
A prorate sheet is something that lists prices of items before a definite price has been set. This price will last for whatever set amount of time you want even if the price of the item does increase.
I live in Missouri. My children have my last name (their father and I were never married) and I have a child support order in affect. Try contacting your local Child Support Enforcement agency for more information. That is how I went about getting an order. GOOD LUCK! It is a LOT of paper work, and a big headache, and everyone may have to do a DNA test, but if he helps pay for your kids to live, then it is all worth it... Just remember - wether they have his last name or not, he helped make them, and he should help pay for them... You do not get a break, so neither should he.
Yes. The child does not need to be named after the father for him to be obliged to pay child support. He needs to be the biological father, that's all. Child support obligations arise from being the biological parent of a child and not on the child's name.
You are obligated to pay child support unless you have a court order stating otherwise. If the child's last name was changed due to a step parent adoption/termination of parental rights then you need to go to court to have child support payments ended.
