In NY child support terminates at the age of 21. Early termination is extremely difficult. You would need to prove the child is currently self supporting with a full time job. Contact an attorney to talk about your specific circumstances.
Non custodial parent, original order was in 2016 when I was a seasonal employee. Rate was 75/week. Then switched jobs and for a higher salary but did not inform mother. I’m not in the child support system, I pay her directly. Will I be retroactively charged once she takes me
Back to court?
If there is no child support order at all (either from Family Court or through Divorce) you can not be obligated to pay any retroactive support, with the exception if the custodial parent is on public assistance. If there is an active order, retroactivity only goes to the filing date of a new... Read more »
My divorce papers say nothing about continuing support past 21. I am the father and I filed an order to modify my order to stop my wage garnishment.
Child support terminates at 21 and can not be continued after unless agreed to, and then until 22 if the child is in college, but only if agreed. Other provisions (not child support) could be addressed. Speak to an attorney.

For a child to be considered emancipated prior to 21 years old, the child must be self supporting. A child who works part time but is still relianty on the custodial parent, is still entitled to be supported by the non custodial parent.

Father purchased a home in the child's current school district. Mother lives with family in the same... Read more »
Owning or renting a home ios not a relevant factor, in and of itself, in determining custody.
My son turned 18 this week and has decided to move in with me. He has informed his mother of his intent. What do I do regardiregarding child support payments I pay her?

No. Child support trminates at 21. You can not get child support retroactively. If there was a court order of support already in place, you can. But no previous order, no retroactive support.

I wrote the traffic department explaining the reason for my speed but they didn't throw out the tickets. Can I sue for the unnecessary stress it brought me?
You violated the law. Who do you think you can sue? The reason for the speed might be a mitigating factor, but you are still guilty. School zone violations are taken very seriously. You can not sue.

You must follow the court order as written. If you need to change that, you need to file a petition for modification. Even if you case is not heard right away as the courts are closed, your petition will be filed and any modification award would be retroactive to the date of filing.

I got a speeding ticket going 36 on a 25 from a speeding camera in NYC, and I'm from Missouri. If I pay this ticket will I get points on my license, making my insurance rate go up?
