Q: son dropped out of school he is 18 I wasnt informed and now he is suppose to be in a home school. Do I still pay?
He is supppse to now be in a home school program. I was never informed of the drop out or the new school. I asked for proof from ex and I have not received anything. Do i still pay support even after he dropped out of high school for a month
A: Your child support obligation ends when the child turns 18, or graduates from high school, if he has not yet graduated by his 18th birthday. As a parent, you should be informed of any changes in school, unless your decree or order states otherwise. I would contact a local family law attorney who can look into this situation and advise you about your options.
