Re: child support
Generally, child support obligations end when a child is eighteen and no longer attending high school. So if the child has graduated from high school,there should be no child support obligation. Child support can go to age 20 if the child is still attending high school. There are some exceptions such a child that is disabled. I would urge you to speak with an attorney regarding your specific situation. I am responding to your post to provide you with information. This is not legal advice.
Re: child support
Child support would not include any payments beyond the child's 18th birthday and graduation from high school absent an agreement to the contrary that was memorialized as part of a court order. Minnesota has not requirement to contribute to college expenses.
