Ending Child Support

Child support does end at 18 whether or not she is in school. But if she is in school full time you can get the hope credit for 2 years on your taxes and you can still claim her as a dependent.

Child support does end at 18. I tried to have my divorce settlement to include college if the child went, but I was told I couldn't.

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.

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

Child Support continues until she is 21, and in some instances 24

What do you do immediatly after the child turns 18?

What will cause child support to continue

What if your ex wants child support beyond the court order

I paid child support until my daughter ,was 18yrs old ,usually the courrts have the non-custodial parent pay child support thru the childs college years and it will stop if the child decides not to go to college. also the child could wave child support from their non -custodial parent if they wish ,like my daughter did.

Any Court any where is going to hold you till the dependent child is 18. That is the age of Majority and you are no longer bound to support that child, legally. Morally is a whole different story.

Good luck and hopefully it will all work out.
