In the majority of states the age of emancipation is 18, if that is the case, the young lady would be of legal age to move where she choses. However, because she has not finished high school the child support order might be remain valid as long as she resides with a parent or legal guardian. State laws would determine exactly how such a situation is viewed in terms of emancipation and support obligations.

∙ 16y agoYour daughter is no longer a minor so custody or child support is no longer an issue unless the courts have adjusted this in their recommendations, such as: You have to pay child support for your daughter's education. Then you must! As you know education doesn't come cheap so most women can't afford to pay for their kids education. I suggest you see a lawyer and go over the conditions that were met when you divorced. If your daughter is working or her boyfriend is working and all you need to do is pay for her education you may just be able to squeak out of it. In addition never, ever arbitrarily cease court order child support payments. A person taking such action can face a contempt citation which can further complicate the issue. It should also be noted that the age of 18 is not necessarily the legal age of majority or the age that was stipulated in the original support agreement. Four states have a higher age of majority than 18, in Alabama and Nebraska the age is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21.

∙ 17y agoIn most states the legal age of majority is 18. What determines the length of time that child support is to be paid are the terms of the child support order. The best choice is for the obligated parent to have the support order assessed by a qualified family law attorney
