Question

Asked 7/14/2008

My divorce was in 2002. My daughter is 18. birth date 5-11-90.

My ex-wife said her lawyer informed her that child support law had changed and now I have pay child support till she turns 19 or graduates from high school. Our divorce decree states 18 or graduates from High school. She said it was revised in 2007.
What is the truth?

These laws differ from state to state... I would advise you to contact a local attorney. Good Luck

Pay it or marry her again

 
 

Answer 3/4 - Submitted 7/20/2008

You only need to contact child support, for free. Let them know your child has turned 18 & graduated, & they will either say we will get it stopped , & send you the paperwork, or tell you law has changed & you have to pay for another year!

 
 

Answer 4/4 - Submitted 7/20/2008

If the child has graduated it ends at the age of 18 now if the child is still in high school the ammendment is in place till the age of 19. If the child hasn't graduated by the time she is 19 it doesn't matter unless spelled out in your orriginal court order which is grandfathered in to the new ammendments.
