Does a parent still have custody over a child even if they are 18 but have not graduated yet?
Usually the custody stays as is until the child becomes 18 years of age, or graduates high school, which ever one occurs last. So if the child is 18, yet still has a few months of high school left, then usually the custody remains as originally ordered. But check your papers from the court on that to see if this particular issue was addressed in them.
What else can I help you with?

How does primary custody work?
If you have primary custody you rule the child's life. You're the parent in charge but the other parent may still be entitled visitation.
If you sue for full custody of a child does the noncustodial parent still pay child support in New York?
Yes, being granted full custody does not relieve the other parent of their financial obligations to the child(ren).
If one parent has full custody of a child and that parent dies will the living parent get the child?
Yes, unless the living parent has a court order not allowing them to be with the child in that case the child would go to the next relative that is willing to take the child. The surviving parent will still have to go to court to have the custody awarded to him/her. After all, the court felt there was a good reason that the full custody award was rendered in the first place.

Even without full custody, a parent is still a parent. Make sure that you have an open dialogue with your child so that you can discuss these types of things with them.

If you are a teen parent can you still collect child support?
Yes, either from the other teen parent, or the teen's parents, which can be either the teen mother or father, depending on which has court ordered custody. Child support may not be ordered if the teen parent has joint physical custody, which is best for the child.
If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?
A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
