Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Does child support stop after adoption
My ex-wife's husband adopted my two daughters. My ex says the adoption has been finalized, but I have to pay child support untill their names are changed on their social security cards. When can I stop the allotment? Also, The divorce was in Clark Co. Nevada, and I think the adoption was done in Texas. Do I need to file anything with or notify Clark Co. pertaining to my stopping the child support due to their adoption?

Re: Does child support stop after adoption
Once the children are adopted by their step father and the order is signed by the court, your child support obligation ends.
Re: Does child support stop after adoption
Just by way of clarification to my earlier answer, if there was a termination proceeding, the obligation to pay support ends with the finalization of the termination proceeding. There is no ongoing obligation to pay child support after that.
