I think it depends if they are in full time education then they have to pay if they go to uni he could also have to pay for that, it would depend on his earnings if not earning much or on benefit then no only if working yes

I am not sure of the answer but, is the child still in school at the age of 18? If so, child support would continue until the daughter is out of school. Otherwise, I think it should stop now. Oh, also, if the daughter is married, it should stop. Good luck

depends on what the court papers say, the state the divorce took place.
Just because a child turns 18 does not mean they no longer need support--usually until the child graduates from high school. And then some dictate further support for those children that go to college.

Most of the time they stop at 18, unless the child is still in HS and then it stops when they get out of HS. That's in California, not sure about other states.
That doesn't mean that the child may not need help anyway, if they are going to college, and the other parent is still supporting them. It is still your child, and you should still help. But that's a integrity issue, not a legal one.

It depends on what was ordered by Child Support Enforcement. While most child support stops at the age of 18, if you were/are in arrerage (behind) you will have to pay until all the child support that was ordered, has been paid.

as I understand it being a victim of the csa myself it is 18 . Your friend should stop paying at 18 and appeal against this decision .All they keep doing is moving the goal posts in their relentless persecution of the male gender.

I was told that it was up until 18 providing they are in full time education. If the child isn't in full time education after 16 then you don't have to pay. You might have to check this out but that's what happened to my friend. good luck.

First What State is he in? Most states, I believe have extended the age to 24, however, there are general conditions which determines validity.
If you let me know what state I will try to find a web-link to state law in his state regarding this very matter.
Thanks

I believe you carry on paying if you have arrears and if the child continues in full time education e.g college so I think it could go on to 19
