Re: how to terminate support and when
Unless there is an agreement that says otherwise, all support terminates at age 21. If you have been paying support directly to the mother, you can just stop and write on the last check "final payment". If you have been paying through a support collection unit, you must immediately send a letter certified mail, return receipt requested to advise them of the 21st birthday and then followup with phone calls also confirming each conversation with a letter.
