Ending Child Support

Child support ends at the age of 18 unless they are still in high school in some states you can collect until they graurate. I just went though this very thing and I recieved child support after he turned 18 because he was stil in school. I had to send the child support service a letter from the school telling them when he was gradurating. All states vary. However unless it is in your divorce degere for your ex to pay for college he probaly will not have to. Your daugher can apply for a grant or student loan however for a student loan they deem both parents incom. You will need to check at the college where your daughter would be applying out to find out. If you daughter lives at home and your supporting her while in college you can claim her on your taxes as a dependent if she is not working full time earning over 3000.00 check with your tax person. Also if she is a full time student you can also continue having her on your health onsurance if you have insurance. She will need to show the insurance company that she is enrolled full time. Check your state laws on child support. Good luck
