Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: Child Support

Under TN law child support generally stops when the child reaches age 18, unless the child is in high school at the time and is progressing toward graduation as normal, in which case it continues until the child's class graduates. The other primary exception is if the child has special needs and will continue to require parental support after reaching age 18. It also may stop early if the child becomes emancipated early, generally by marriage before reaching age 18, or by simply moving out of a parent's home before reaching age 18.

Re: Child Support

Typically, when the child turns 18 or graduates high school, whichever occurs last. This can vary by case, however.

Re: Child Support

In SC, child support stops when the child turns 18 unless the Order says otherwise.
