Becoming unemancipated

In most states a child is automatically emancipated on their 18th birthday, in some states however they are not emancipated until age 19 or they graduate high school, whichever comes first. In order to take back legal control of your sons life you would have to have a court declare him unfit or uncapable of caring for his own basic needs due to physical or mental illness. However, you can apply to the court to have your ex pay "secondary" child support as long as your son remains a full time college student, most states allow this up to age 21 or 24 depending on the state.

Sounds like the only one to benefit from all of this was his dad. Maybe since they worked so well together before, the two of them can work something out now.

I don't think that looking into the un-emancipated thing is going to work or be the right course of action in this situation. unless the child support originally said it went until he was done with college, it wouldn't matter and I don't think you can un-emancipate yourself.

I'd try and work out something where he pays for his son to go to college, or have him work or do student loans.

I am not aware of the laws in your state. I know in most states the child support is only til your child reaches the age of 18. He is now 19 I do not believe that you can get child support. You might just want your son to apply for a student loan or get a grant. In order to get loans they deem the parents incom so that usally doesn't work out if your in the high figures in incom. Keep in mind it could cost you more money than you want to spend and the end results are not in your favor. If your son and father get along and the father has the funds to help his son then I would sujest he talk with his father. It is really between the two of them since he is now a young man. I would not pursue anything from your end.

Child support ends at the age of 18 I am afraid there is nothing that you can do. He can always talk to his father and see if he is willing to help him with his college. He can always try to get a student loan although they deem the parents incom. He can apply for a grant and that does not have to be paid back. He can go to the college that he thinks he is interesrted in and they will help him in appling for the grant. you might want to check in your state for the age limit of child support just call the court house. all states are different but I donot believe that their that different.

At 19 years old you cannot be emancipated because you are legally an adult. Father is off the hook. Father has absolutely no more responsibility for your kid. There is no such thing as unemancipation for a 19 year old. You and your son are on your own because the meal ticket cashed out on your kids 18th B-Day.

I don't think you can un-do something like that.

once you are emancipated, you are emancipated.
