It depends on what your child support order says, if you have one. In Massachusetts, a child support court order can be valid until the child is considered emancipated, which does not necessarily occur at a specific age. For instance, if the child is attending college full-time, and is under 23, than the child is not considered emancipated and therefore should still be receiving child support. All child support orders are modifiable depending on the circumstances in each situation.

I would need additional information from you in order to be able to give you a more specific response. If you are interested in a free consultation, please contact me at 617-523-3200.
