In general, support is 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Support usually continues until the child has reached the age of majority or is emancipated (these terms are defined by the State); however, the court may order support to continue until completion of high school or college (assuming the child continues to attend).

Yes - the child's needs continue.
Child support is paid as long as the child is a minor, get emancipated or when the child support agreement says so.
If it is arrears of support then there is no limitation of time if you owed it you must pay. However going forward child support stops when the child becomes an adult.
You must obey the child support order as long as it is in effect and until it has been modified by a court. A child may be in college. The child support payments must continue to be made to the custodial parent as provided in the child support order.
Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
That decided on a case by case basis.
That's governed by the language of the order for support and the laws of the State with jurisdiction. However, in general child support is owed until the child: dies; is no longer a minor (support may continue into adulthood for severely disabled children); or, becomes emancipated.
The child doesn't receive child support. The custodial parent does. The state of MS normally orders child support through the age of 21, if the child is still in school. However, there are situations that would be cause for termination of support. For exampe, if the child "cohabits with another person without the approval of the parent obligated to pay support". You can find the laws regarding this under MS Code 93-11-65(8a).
hi as long you are in the u.s.a. and hes not 18 the father has to pay.
For as long as the child is dependentYou pay child support in Nova Scotia for as long as the child is a minor and in school....ie - the child turns 18 but is still in high school until June of that year...you would continue to pay child support until the child graduates from high school. If the child continues on to post secondary schooling and lives at home with the custodial parent, the other parent continues to pay child support for the duration of the education process. However, if the child moves out to his or her own residence during the post secondary schooling process, the paying parent may then make the child support payments directly to the child.Hope this helps!Actually the age of majority in NS is 19, and under the divorce act you must continue paying while the person you support is still considered a "child of the marriage". basically until they are 19, if they are living with and under the care and control of the payee...even if they work and do not go to school, you will have to continue paying child support. You must have your child support order varied in order to stop the payments.
Ohio Law requires that Child Support continues until your child is both 18 years of age and finishes high school. If your child is over 18 years of age, the child support will continue if your child is enrolled on a full-time basis in an accredited high school; however, when your child turns 19 years of age, the child support will end. It is your obligation to inform CSEA of the emancipation.
As long as the child is in university they are still considered a dependent and are still covered by child support. And aren't you glad your dhild is going to university and more than happy to help them out with it.
