Rochester, NY asked in Child Support for New York

Q: My 18year old has graduated high school, is working 40hrs and lives with his father. Do I still have to pay support?

My son is not going to college and his father only lives at the same residence part time (according to my son). Do I still need to pay child support since my son is working full time?

A: The issue is whether your son is "self supporting". While working full time is one variable, if he is making minimum wage and unable be support himself, the court can continue child support.
