Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Child Support
My Husband is paying $338.00 a week in
child support for two children. Soon his
oldest will be turning 18 years old, is not
going to collage but still resides with his
mother, also, until rescently was working.
Is there an amount per week for just the
one other child, or does the father have to
go back to court?

Re: Child Support
It depends on what the divorce decree of separation order states.
Technically when I child completes secondary education or quits school above a certain age, then the father is entitled to stop paying child support. The support order is then recalculated for the remaining child. The split is not 1/2 - is a higher percentage.
If you contact me, I can be of more assistance.
