Q: My daughter is 17yo. Her father and I have a child support/visitation schedule in place. Does that end when she's 18?
She wants to get a job and he is currently preventing her from getting a job because of the visitation schedule. We have always had problems with her father and he has rarely been compliant with the visitation schedule requiring me to attend mediation and trial to get it changed. Legally, how long is this visitation schedule in effect, she will be turn 18 in June 2018.

A: Visitation, parenting time, custody, etc. end at 18. Child support ends at 19. A court might listen to the wishes of a 17 year old as relates to visitation and will certainly view the 17 year old as being much more able to weigh in on schedule for visitation.
A: The parenting time schedule ends when she reaches age 18 as she then is alegal adult. However, child support continues until age 19
