Re: child support

You are liable for the support of your child during her minority, which

is not terminated by her having a child; you are not liable for the support of

her child (your grandchild).

Under California law, you are not liable for the support of a non-disabled child 19 years old or older,

under any circumstances, unless some judgment contained a specific provision for a

longer period of support.
