A:
Hello and thank you for using Justia. The daughter is a minor until age 21 thus she has a right to request Child Support from her parents. Since she is a student she may qualifying for económical support until the age of 25 or date of graduatión, which ever occurs first.
The Child Support can be requested in a Court procedure or in A.S.U.M.E..
If you need additional information please feel free to contact me directly.
