Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am currently paying Spousal support to my ex wife. I have 100% custody of our 18 year old son who remains a student. Am I entitled to any child support credit until he reaches the age of 19? Also, is it possible to lower my Spousal support as a result of less earnings at this time?

You should have applied for child support at the time you got 100% custody. You are entitled to child support until he graduates from high school, drops out, or turns 19, whichever comes first. Whether you can modify your spousal support depends on the terms of your judgment. Without reading the judgment I can't answer about that.
