In Wisconsin the court cannot extend child support obligations beyond 19 years of age. The parents may sign an agreement to an extension of child support or payment of college tuition as part of the divorce, legal separation or annulment proceeding. Such agreements become enforceable between the parties and non-compliance may be enforced through contempt proceedings.

Yes, as of 2009. However, the Obligor Parent should file two motions with the courts:

  1. To have any child support payment go directly to the child, rather than to or through the Obligee Parent;
  2. If the child is living away from home of the Obligee Parent, and is taking up residence in the city where he/she will be attending school, the Obligor parent should petition the court to also require the other parent to pay their required support obligation directly to the child;

Child Support requires BOTH parents to apportion a specific amount of their incomes to the care and upkeep of their children. If this obligation continues into the college years, it continues for BOTH PARENTS. see links below

child support is owed until the obligation is met. regardless of the age of the child your obligation to pay support is still in effect until all back pay or arrears are met as well

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).
