Re: Child Support Termination
Generally, child support runs until the child turns 18,or, if the Court orders it, it may continue until the child is 19 if he is still in school. The Court may also order further child support if the child suffers from certain disabilities. If there are no complications, you may be able to get a form from the Clerk of Court for your County asking the Court to relieve you of further payments after the child turns 18.
