First, you will have to check with your state regaurding child support for your 18 year old, as some states very on the age and being in the service, etc..
Now as far as the other child coming to live with you, be very careful with the noterized letters, as some places will accept them and some wont. If you are both in agreement to the child living with you, it is a very simple thing to take of in court (your child will not have to go to court). You would go into your local Family Court and get paperwork to modify your current custody papers. Another reason for you to do this in court is that the child support will change when the child moves in with you and the courts will record that. It is not a big deal when both parties agree to it, you get your court date and you both go into court and the judge will ask you both if you agree with the change, etc.. and then it is done. No one will need to testify or anything, as long as there is no problems. You could have your ex sign the papers and you both can use them as a guideline to tell the judge what it is you are requesting. It is all a matter of getting everything in black and white so nothing comes back to bite you later down the road. Good Luck to you!

Custody and support
I am wondering about child support for my 18 year old son who graduates this year and is already in the National Guard. I also believe he has a scholarship to college and whatever is not covered by that I know the Guard will pay for. Do I continue to pay support for him because he will still live at home?
At what age does a child have the right to say where they want to live?
My ex told me that one of my children could come live with me. If she wrote out a letter and got it noterized would that be enough to please the court? I know I can take her back to court but I do not want to put my child through that. I have talked to my childs teacher at the teachers request about some issues with my childs home life and she said she would testify on my childs behalf but as I said I would rather not go that route.
I appreciate your time and help.
