Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

custody

Once a child reaches the age of majority (19), does the child custody that was determined in a divorce decree still hold true if that child now lives with the non-custodial parent?

Re: custody

Once the child reaches the age of 19, custody is no longer relevant because the child is an adult. The child is free to live with either parent, or to move out on his or her own. It would only be relevant if the noncustodial party had entered into some kind of agreement to pay child support past the age of 19, in which case a new petition would need to be filed with the court to terminate the support.
