Re: stopping Child support in South Carolina
If you only have this one child, then you can simply take proof of the child's age and graduation to the clerk of court and they should close your account. If you are paying the custodial parent directly, you can just stop paying once both events have occurred.
If you have more than one child, then you will need to bring an action to recalculate the child support in light of the child now being emancipated.
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.
