Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have been recieving child support for my son who is 20 yrs old but have been giving the monies back to his father since he turned 18 due to the fact that my son dropped out of Highschool and was not attending school at all. Now my son is now attending school to acquire his diploma and plans on attending college after he graduates. My question is, Am I entitled to keep the child support,now that my son is back in school?

Only if the support award is from another state. If it was issued in California, it expires at 18 plus graduation from high school or droppingout, OR at age 19 no matter what the school status. Why does he keep sending the money?
It would appear that the father thinks he still has to pay, and has not filed any motion to terminate child support in the event it is being collected through the county.
