When child turns 18

I understand that child support continues after 18 if the child is still in school, and/or until she graduates, or 19. Are there any specifics about what type of schooling is required, or can the child go to part time schools and drag it out to 19? My ex is actually encouraging the child to go to continuation school to keep support coming.

Next question is, once we approach the age is there any action I need to take to have the support terminated, or does this happen on its own. I have a hard time trusting the Calif Child Support division due to a series of horrible stories you would not believe!

Last question, is there a organized group who look into wrong doings from the courts who are involved in legislation change?

Depending on what is wrote up in your divorce decree, usually it stops when your child graduates & is at least 18. To stop child support, it is your responsibilty to notify them of his graduation & age. Send a certiied letter to support, always make a copy of anything sent to state, & also call them.
If you think he should of graduated, they will usually call write the school & see what is going on!
Good luck!

The age of child support in California is until the age of 18 or until 19 if still in school. In order for the child support to continue past the age of 18 the school is required to send a form out to child support stating the childs name and the date of exspected date of gradurating,if that is not done the child support will end. It is usally stopped at their 18th birthday,however it would not hurt to call the child support divition and inform them that the child is turning 18 about a month or two prior to the childs graduration.
