child support
If a ex-spouse pays child support and the child continues on to college after the age of 18, does the child support continue

Re: child support
If there is just one child involved, then the child support terminates when the child reaches 18, unless the Order says something different. College support is a separate issue with separate factors that must be considered by the Court.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
