In most States child support ends upon the emancipation of the child. If you and your child's other Parent has entered into an agreement to continue child support beyond high school for college expenses, the child should start school after the summer ends, unless otherwise stated or agreed. If however, the child is sick, or has a good reason to postpone school, you should have your agreement modified to specify when the child is to start college and should he/she quit school or produce failing grades, child support ends. Good Luck.
I believe that if you have custody of the child once that child hits the age of 18 years of age no more financial obligation is required on your part the federal and most state governments see children as adults capable of taking care of themselves and financially supporting themselves as of age 18

Yes, I was just sued for child support. I was the custodial parent and my ex owes me $30,000 in back child support and because my son didn't like having to do choirs at our house he went to go live with his father. Who in turn sued me for child support and now both my ex and I have to paid our son child support until he is 21 if he continues to go on to college.
The State can place a lien on the house if the father is on the title.
It's possible that if you file for child support he will file for visitation - assuming he isn't neglectful or abusive, visitation is his right as one of the parents of the child.
Depends on the State. However if he is not a full-time high school student and is age 18 child support is no longer an obligation.

The State child support agency can file a lien on the house.
Go to court house with a certified copy of the child's birth certificate a few weeks or a month before their 21st birthday and they will get the child support stopped.
Yes, you and her mother still have to support her until she is emancipated.
In New York, parents are legally obligated to provide for their children until they reach the age of 21, unless the child becomes emancipated earlier by a court order. Parents cannot force a child out of the house before they reach the age of majority unless there are extenuating circumstances.
No. Child support is paid by absent parents.
Neither parent should receive any child support for a child that no longer lives with either parent. If possible, the parents should consider what they can do to directly help the child who has moved out to allow them to finish school and/or get a college or university education.
That would be something I would contact a lawyer about.

The age of adulthood is 18 even if you have graduated. You are still a minor unless 18.
