What is the cut off for child support?
It varies by state. Example: In NY, you must pay child support until the child is 21 (unless the child becomes emancipated...and that's usually hard to prove anyway). In Texas, child support is paid until the child is 18. In Pennsylvania, you also pay until the child is 18 UNLESS they are a full time student in college (in which case you have to pay until they're 21). I have always tried to do my best to support my children financially ( and yes, i do pay child support). And I will ALWAYS try to help them regardless of what age they are. However, for the state to have a law that a parent should pay until the child is 21....i think that is B.S.!!! They can go to college, go in the military, get a job, smoke, get a tattoo, vote, have sex....all these things but they still make a parent pay child support until 21?? I don't agree with it.
Does your x husband have to pay child support for your son if he is over 18?
laws vary from state to state but as a rule he has to pay as long as he is a full time student. But 18 is usually the cut off age.
What is the cut off age for filing for child support if an order was never filed in the state of Texas?
There is no cut off age for establishing a child support order. Even if the child is 18 and has graduated high school, child support can still be sought from the non-custodial parent. However, the judge may determine that a reduced amount is owed, or even that no child support is owed at all, if the non-custodial parent was unaware of his parenthood or if the custodial parent never attempted to contact him to make him aware of his parenthood. Unless the child is severely handicapped, the court is not going to enter an order for support once the child has attained majority and/or become emancipated.
What is the cut off age for child support in oh?

You pay 600 per month child support to the State of Texas for a child you have never seen but who has your DNA The child will be 18 years old in June 2009 Does that end your court ordered obligation?
As long as there is no back-support owed (Child support that is owed from previous months not paid) then 18 is the cut off limit for child support and you would no longer be obligated to pay. HOWEVER, in the state of Texas, if the child continues into college, the legal guardian of the child can bring you to court to continue the support until the child graduates from college.
Is there a cut off age to legitimate in Georgia?
No. A person of any age can legitimate his child. A child of any age can be legitimated. Although legitimation confers the right to inherit, most legitimations are pursued for custody and child support purposes, so adult children are rarely legitimated.
Do you have to pay child support for a person who is 21?
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
What age does can you stop paying child support when your child is in college?
It depends on how the CS orders are written - if they are written to include support while the child attends college, then you pay until you hit the cut off. If college was not stipulated in the orders - you need to pay until the child finishes High School and turns 18.
In PA does child support cut off the last day of the month before the child's 18th birthday or the day OF the child's 18th birthday?
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.
After a child turns 18 is there any way to be completely unconnected to their parents meaning a cut off of communication and no knowledge of where they are forever?
Yes, assuming that the person lives in a state where the age of majority is 18 and there is not a court order in affect that overrides that age. There are not laws that force an adult to keep in contact with parents or other family members. (This includes someone who is under a child support obligatory order. The support would have to be paid according to the terms of the order but the court does not have the power (nor should it) to force a parent to otherwise be a part of the child's life.)
What happens to child support when I have sole custody of my 2 children and 1 decides to move out with his mother?
Nothing happens automatically. The mother will need to contact the courts to get the child support amount adjusted. It's not an overly complicated process, but, with a bias in the courts toward the mother, it is rarely a fair 50% split. As the male, your child support might be cut down to less than half of what you receive today. It depends on how the child support number is calculated in your state.
