Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
stop child support
My current husband is paying child support directly to the ex. His 17 yr old daughter has dropped out of school and wants to get her GED which she hasn't gotten yet. The wording in the papers are as follows:
Said payments shall begin upon the signing of this agreement, payable thereafter until the children reach the age of eighteen (18) years, die, marry, join the armed forces, or become self supporting, whichever occurs first. Provided, however, should the children still be attending high school when they reach the age of eighteen, the child support shall continue to be paid until the children graduate from high school, but not beyond the age of twenty (20) years.
Can he just stop paying support or does he need to have a judge order it?

Re: stop child support
Follow the wording of the order. If she is 18 or above and out of school the current order says he does not have to pay. He would not need another order to order him not to do what a current order says he does not have to do.
