Me and my husband got divorced a while back.He has custody of 2 kids...the oldest (17 years old) is dropping out of school and is starting home-school...
Will home-school be considered as regular school?
Will I still have pay Child support?...
Thanks.

You have to pay support until the children are 18.
"Home-School" is a legitimate education choice so that would have no barring.

The court ordered child support which includes everyday issues! The court may frown upon the fact that your ex has allowed the child to disenroll from school but I don't see a change or reduction in the amount of child support paid.
You may also consider contacting your attorney due to the circumstances surrounding the disenrollment from school. Sounds like the ex is having a problem with lack of parental supervision!
Best wishes!

How could you even consider withholding child support? You know it's for your kids, right?
Yes, you'll still have to pay. Home school vs. public school will not effect what the children need, so therefore it won't effect what you're due to pay. And yes, home school is usually regulated by the regional school district, so it's considered "regular" school...all the kids have to learn specific curriculum, and have to pass the districts tests to get through each grade level.

you would have to pay child support until the child is 18 or graduated which ever come LAST. so if the child drops out of public school and is home schooled you would still have to pay. (i would think anyways because they would still be getting a dipolma)

you have to pay until the child reaches 18 weather or not they are in school.. my ex husband had to pay until his daughter reached 18 and she quit when she was 16 and was pregnet at 17.. the law is funny like that.. they can act like adult but still be consider kids

I think you have to pay until the child is 18 regardless of whether or not they are in school.

After FL tried to serve him with papers (in FL, undergo in innovations he's in TN) he in no way spoke back so as that took yet another a million a million/2 years to technique. i've got advised them repeatedly the place he works, the place he lives, all of his own information and not something has been finished. i don't understand if it relatively is in basic terms the State of FL or if this happens everywhere. Oh...then after my ex-husband finally have been given served with papers for a listening to for toddler help in FL, he went and employed a criminal professional to objective and get me for being an un-greater healthful discern using fact he hasn't seen his young little ones in 5 years. what variety of **** is that.....my young little ones are lacking out on relatively some stuff using fact of him.

Pay what you are required to pay, and please continue to support your kids (not saying your not), no matter how old they get. I don't mean this in a bad way, but I am a single father of two girls and my ex does not pay squat. But do what you need to do and want to do, take care.

yes you do! until the age of 18, and then some, if your divorce decree requires it. why would you not want to pay anything you can to take care of your kids?

Yes, you have to pay until he turns 18, and longer if he goes to college.
