Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: emancipated

The child support statute requires the child to enroll full time in college by October first following graduation from high school or obtaining a GED, togerther with several other requirements. There may be a few exceptions, such as cases of disability, but generally, the child does not get to wait and sign up for college later and still be entitled to child support. You may need to file a Motion to Terminate wth the court in order tobe sure that your child support obligation is terminated properly.
