Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

child support

Does a child need to still be a full-time student to still qualify for child support? My daugher will be 18 next month and she is attending the local adult school to obtain her H.S. diploma - she is only required to attend the school once weekly and does the majority of her work at home.

Re: child support

She is not emancipated and has a reasonable amount of time to get her GED and the, perhaps, attend some school full time. She should be trying to get her GED as quickly as possible. She can not maintain her status as a dependent if she takes too long to finish high schoo.

Call me if you like.
