My child is 19 years old. My ex just filed to have support terminated. My child still lives at home, does not work and is in college. Can I still get support?
@Falconf9,
I was under the impression mandatory support ends at age eighteen. In the United States.
@Falconf9,
You need to check with family court. I think if the child is in college, support continues for a while.
It probably depends on the original support order, and which state granted it. Some do specify college support.
I think most states consider the child as not emancipated if still in school and financially supported. Is that correct?
