How long do you have to pay child support for a child that is 18 in NY?

Answer 1

Child support generally stops when the child reaches the age of majority which in Indiana is 18. However, there can be determining factors such as those pertaining to schooling, a disabled child and so forth. The definitive answer would be contained in the original court order of support. If the person is in doubt as to the terms, they should consult an attorney. Failure to meet child support terms as ordered by the court might result in serious consequences.

Answer 2

Unless otherwise specified, child support terminates when all the dependent children for whom support is ordered complete their high school education or reach the age of 18 years, whichever is later, or become married, or become a member of the armed services. This amount shall remain as specified unless a legal order expressly allocates the payments on a per child basis. If the order involves a disabled child, the court shall specify the duration of the order, which may be beyond the time when the child reaches the age of 18.
