I agree with zyasha answer and yes you still have to pay child support it have nothing to do with him quiting school and plus call the school principal since he is under age police officer will talk to your son father and they will make sure your son go school and they will give him a choice spend time in jail or go school he going to have to make a choice there plus since he living with his father officer will report to court will review his parental right and judge might consider having your son living with you I use to be speical ed teacher and have some student in my class with this same situation other thing if you over 18 he decided not to go school nothing the law can do Good luck

In many states, they can drop out at 16. As for the child support, you need to review your court paperwork. If it specifically states that you owe child support until your son is 18, period, then you still pay it. If you want to try to change things now that he's dropped out, it needs a court order -- which means you go through the process of getting a hearing. Get legal advice from a family law attorney. There's Legal Aid, or some attorneys don't charge for an initial consultation; just takes a phone call to find out.

Most states a person may drop out at 16, the other states must provide alternatives to traditional schooling. There is not much you can do about him leaving school, but the support has nothing to do with school it's about food, housing & shelter etc. Easy for the father to set him up with bogus home schooling etc. to avoid the school problem. The law an not force your son to attend a public school at all without you his father support which you do not have. One of my older daughters friends parents gave in when their daughter refused to attend school and the school kept sending a truant officer, they simply stated she was now home schooling, filed the paperwork then left her be. Since she was no longer enrolled in the public school she could not be truant.

basically on condition that to procure an entire scholarship (and powerful for you, via how, effective activity) does no longer advise that each and every thing is going to be unfastened. while you're enrolled he would would desire to pay, even at a discounted cost, for different fees. There are different fees (clothing, foodstuff, transporation, insurance, etc) which you will produce different than the difficulty-unfastened training and room and board, no remember what state you reside in. i've got confidence the decrease off age is 21. this ought to have already been stated while the preliminary custody/baby help listening to. If no longer, it would be good to your mom to look into it. so some distance as gathering it on your individual behalf, i do no longer think of so, I certainly have in no way heard of that, yet, no longer something is impossible.

You probably can't do anything about him quitting school, but if you are paying child support to your ex-husband and the child no longer lives with him you can petition the courts to stop child support and if you know when he left your ex-husband's house you can petition for repayment of any funds received by your ex-husband while the child was not physically living with him. Good luck and God Bless.

Have a talk with your ex and if the kid is not back in school I would ask for custody, put the kid back in school and get child support from him.

Depending on what state they are in you could file charges.But you said he let him quit.Which says to me that the state they are in.Let him voluntarily quit.That is a shame to.
Call your local school board and find out.

Talk to a lawyer and show that the father is unfit for allowing your son to do this.Talk to D.S.S.
