Re: Child Support
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, in NY, Child Support ends at 21.
Although, some Courts try to make the College payment "option" past 21 a part of a divorce or child support disposition, in certain circumstances. Payment for Child Support and other costs and expenses, including College costs and expenses, is voluntary past age 21.
GOOD LUCK,
