Legal Question in Family Law in New York
NY age of emancipation?
I just read a response that said child support is until age 18? I thought in NY that it was age 21?

It is 21 in NY, although other states may have a lower age.

Pursuant to NY DRL section 240 (1-b)(b)(2):
"'Child support' shall mean a sum to be paid pursuant to court order or decree by either or both parents or pursuant to a valid agreement between the parties for care, maintenance and education of any unemancipated child under the age of twenty-one years."
