Yes...unless they have been emancipated through marriage or other means. If not living with custodial parent, then you can request revision or stop through the attorney general's office, as cs is required to be paid to a custodial parent.

Not under state law.Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later.

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".

How long do you pay child support in Nova Scotia?

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.


Do I have to pay child support in Kentucky if my child is in college and 18?

If there is no child support owed that is in arrears, for Kentucky child support orders, the child support order ends when the child turns 18, unless he or she is still enrolled in high school, in which case child support would continue through the school year in which the child turns 19. Under certain circumstances, child support may continue past the child turning 18 (or 19 if still in high school) if ordered by the court. If the support order is for more than one child, the support obligation will not automatically end when one of the children reaches 18 (or 19 if still in high school) unless that child is the youngest child or the child support order listed a separate amount of child support for each child. If neither of these conditions exists, a request for a review of the child support obligation must be submitted before any change in the obligation amount can be made. If child support is in arrears, it will continue until the past due amount is completely satisfied.

The legal age of majority for the state is 18. However, the terms of the child support order dictate how long and under what circumstances support is to be rendered. In some instances, a parent can be obligated to pay support as long as the child is being educated and/or if the child is mentally and/or physically challenged.


When a child moves out and then back in do you begin to pay child support again?
