yea
If the divorce decree is from the State of Arizona, the answer is NO. He will not be required to continue to pay child support once your daughter turns 18 or until she graduates from high school, but not past the age of 19, UNLESS your divorce decree specifies that child support is to continue until she graduates from college. Arizona Termination of support at 18 or until child graduates from high school, but not past 19 No statute or case law holding parents to a duty to college support in the absence of an agreement; courts will enforce contracts to provide such support. Solomon v. Findley, 167 Ariz. 409, 808 P.2d 294 (1991).
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
Whether a husband is required to help pay for college expenses for his daughter while also paying child support depends on the specific laws of the state and the terms of any divorce or custody agreement. In some jurisdictions, child support obligations end when the child reaches adulthood, but parents may still choose to contribute to college costs. It's essential to review the legal documents and consult with a family law attorney for guidance tailored to the situation.
When you call the state that your divorce went through and talk to Friend of the Court and find out why they continue to take it out. In Michigan child support stops usually at 18 BUT if you owe any back child support you will continue paying until all chiild support owed, that has been in arrearage, is paid in full and depending on if the child went straight to college AND what your divorce degree says.

It is my understanding that if the noncustodial parent is paying child support in the state of Mo. and the child decides to live on campus/away from custodial parent while attending college and noncustodial parent is paying % of college expenses that include room and board a modification/reduction in child support may be in order. However I would like to see a court case/opinion regarding this matter.
Florida Child SupportUnder 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.
not unless it is back support...you have to motion the court to have it stopped
No support
Depending on the state yes. I know that in Missouri the rule states if the child is 18 or if in college 23 is the age that child support payments end. That means that unless the child marries prior to their 18th birthday or 23rd if still in college then the payments continue regardless if they are with child or not.
If the daughter is no longer living with her mother, and is independent, then you could petition to end child support. If she is still in highschool, you might continue to pay with the agreement that the money transfers from mother to daughter.
Pennsylvania does not currently have that law.
In most cases, the non-custodial parent has to pay half or more of the college expenses, unless it was stated in the divorce decree that college would not be paid for. I know, because I am the custodial parent and my ex was ordered to pay 65% of college expenses in addition to child support. Lucky for him, though, we qualified for financial-aid for college and all he had to pay was child support. (Which he tried to get out of many times)It's more like the opposite - the non-custodial parent is under no obligation to pay for college unless the order for support specifically provides for it.
