Q: If an 18 year old drops out of school, how does child support know if the custodial parent doesnt report it?
My oldest child dropped out of school the day she turned 18. She signed the paperwork at school to do so. The custodial parent has no intentions of telling child support that she has done so. I wanted to know if the custodial parent has to report it or if child support will be informed some other way? What happens if they do not report it even though it was supposed to end the day she turned 18 and dropped out of high school?
