How can stop payment a child support if a child go to the army?

Answer 1

You can stop paying child support once the child is emancipated. Emancipation can come in many guises. One of the classic types of emancipation is when the child joins the military. Historically, the three types of emancipation were 1) when the child reached the age of majority (no longer true - the age of majority is generally 18, and there may still be child support to be paid, depending on the state); 2) when the child marries; 3) If the child joins the service (this can be military or the job corps - but if the child leaves the service, he can be "unemancipated" under certain conditions). There are other ways a child may be emancipated, but the main point to consider is whether or not the child is financially self-sufficient. If he is not, the court will be less likely to grant emancipation, because the court does not want to see the child become a ward of the state. It's important to know that emancipation is a legal act, and should be determined by the probate court. If you think your child is emancipated, and you want to stop paying support, check with your attorney, and ask the court to declare the child emancipated. Also, be sure to check your divorce agreement, to see if there are any insights on when the child is considered emancipated. State law will trump your agreement, if you've given away the rights of the child (you can't do that).
I think such a child would be considered self-sufficient and, therefore, emancipated, and the court would likely grant a motion to terminate support.

Check your state laws to determine if this is reason to stop child support. If so, file with the appropriate child support agency where the support is being taken from.
