Q: Can my daughter’s dad terminate child support for only one semester of bad grades in college?
My daughter is in her second semester of college. She only passed one class first semester but is now passing all classes this semester. Her father is seeking to terminate child support. If he can terminate after only one semester then can I take him back to court after this semester if she passes all classes and ask that he starts paying again?
