Ending Child Support

Every state is different. Some states allow child support to be paid past the age of 18 if the child is still in high school. Also some states allow support until the age of nineteen,alot of that actually depends on the judge and the amount of money the parent makes. If she lives at home while going to college you can claim her as a dependent up to the age of 24 in most states. If she is not working full time,and makes less than the required amount allowed by the federal governmemt. You can also have her as a dependent on your health insurance if she is a full time student. You can contact your health provider and they will tell you what you need to do. I got child support til my child gradurated in May of 2008. He turned 18 in December of 2007 and I lived in the state of California. If you call your child support district office they can answer most of your questions on the child suport laws in your state.
