Q: ex wife filed for an extension on child support saying that my daughter is still in high school. Can she do this?
My daughter is 18, has been taking college classes for over a year, and is homeschooled. My Ex wife had a local high school state that that she doesn’t graduate until late next year. She has been homeschooled her whole life without my consent by her mother and my ex wife decides when she graduates.
A:
It depends on whether this modification request was filed before or after your daughter turned 18. You can demonstrate that the child is not in high school and/or will not graduate prior to turning 19 which leaves the child support as only through the age of 18.
Good luck.
