Q: My Child Support is $1200 for my two children ages 17 and 14. Will it drop to $600 when I no longer pay for the oldest?

The Divorce agreement states Child support ends for my daughter when she finishes High School and turns 18.

A: More likely than not, no. Go to the Georgia child support calculator to determine the amount for one child. Any disputes may have to be decided by the Court. So, to save money, it may be better to agree to an amount based on the child support calculator and file for a consent order.
