Decatur, AL asked in Family Law and Child Support for Alabama

Q: My son just turned 18 last week. He did not finish school or graduate. He is HF Asperger's, and has tried to work.

His anxiety was too bad to continue. His dad has stopped child support, but I'm confused as to where it's 18 or 19 in Alabama. I see 19,with stipulations. Help please, thank you!

A: It’s 19 In Alabama. He has to pay until your son turns 19, which is the age of majority in Alabama. Additionally have you thought about applying for disability for your son? Especially if a doctor recommended or diagnosed him with a condition that makes it impossible for him to work. You might want to try that. Good luck.
