Will you have to pay child support for an 18 year old who is still in high school? 30 Answers as of October 28, 2011

As long as the daughter is a full time high school student, he must pay support until she graduates or turns 19, whichever occurs first.

Maybe, depending on how the support order is worded.

Child support continues until the age oh 18 or graduation from high school, whichever occurs last.

Child support is paid until the age of 18 or up to age 19 if the child is in high school.

Yes until she finishes by law.

When determining whether child support should be ordered, the court looks at whether a child is deemed to be emancipated. Emancipation can occur upon the happening of numerous events, including, but not limited to whether the child has reached the age of 18 but is still completing his/her studies. If a child has reached the age of 18 but is still in school, that child is not deemed to be emancipated and child support is typically ordered. Keep in mind that in Massachusetts a child may not be deemed to be emancipated until after they have completed an undergraduate program.

Yes. Child support is awarded to a child who remains dependent upon the parents. The language in typical child support orders read, "until the child turns age 18 or graduates from high school." Since the child is still in high school, child support should be paid. However, provisions should be made to address post-secondary educational expenses. If provisions are not made for doing so, the court may lose jurisdiction to make such an award later. You should consult with an experienced attorney.

Child Support terminates upon the minor turning 18, and is still in high school, or has turned 19 years of age. So the short answer to your question is yes.

It depends if there was an agreement included in a settlement agreement between his prior spouse and/or included in a judgment of divorce. Most agreements require child support to continue through high school and sometimes college. If there is no agreement, child support ends at 18.

Yes. Child support obligations continue to age 19 in Colorado.

Most child support orders indicate support is to be paid until the child is 18, unless still in high school.

Child support generally ends at age 18, but may be extended past that (up to age 19) as long as the child is still enrolled and working toward graduation.

Child support is an obligation until the child turns 18, or finishes high school, whichever is LATER.

Child support generally runs until age 18 or graduation from high school, whichever is later.

Child support usually extends to the age of 18 or graduation from High School, whichever occurs later.

it is until age 18 unless the child is a full time high school student residing with a parent then it is until graduation or age 19 whichever first occurs.

It depends upon the court, but an order to that effect would be normal.

Child support in NYS runs until the child reaches the age of 21.

Probably. However, it will depend on exactly what the child support order says. In Washington, most child support orders say that support continues until the later of the child turning age 18 or graduating from high school, unless a time petition for post secondary (college) support is filed.
