When does child support end in Illinois?

Answer 1/2 - Submitted 5/25/2010

Well, I am getting child support in Illinois. My oldest turned 18 in January, and she graduates next week. I still get child support from her, and it will end AFTER graduation. It actually goes until 19 or high school graduation which ever is first.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 5/25/2010

I should clarify that this is what my attorney told me. I am not sure what would happen if they dropped out of school. But I do know that the person paying child support does not have to keep paying once they turn 19. It depends on what the judge says if he will make the non-custodial parent pay anything for college. It more than likely will not be half, according to my attorney.
