Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: child support after18/college

Child support stops at age 18 unless there is an agreement to the contrary. Typically such an agreement would be in a separation and custody agreement. The standard of living of the child is generally the basis upon which an agreement will have effect. Depending on your circumstance, it may be to your benefit to seek a modification of court awarded child support. Without all the details little can be said for your situation. Ultimately you will not likely be successful since you waited until the child is approaching majority. There are other ways, such as emancipation, through which I child may enter into legal majority.
