Detroit, MI asked in Family Law for Michigan

Q: My son is going to Brown University. Do I have to file a motion to modify support in Michigan? or will they adjust?

His mother lives in GA. My son and I still live in Detroit, MI. I need to know if I should be proactive before time for him to leave in August. I'd like to avoid any gaps in support because I am currently unemployed.

A: Typically child support ends with the child graduates from high school or reaches the age of 18 - whichever is later. You most likely will not be receiving support once your son attends Brown.
