Re: Quit paying child support at 18

Unless the Court Order says otherwise, the child support obligation ends when the child turns 18. Therefore, he is probably not in contempt.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
