Re: Termination of child support
Child support generally ends at the later of (a) reaching 18 years of age or (b) graduating from high school. If the support is only for one child, then there is no need to go through the Court to stop it.
That having been said, the paying parent may want to provide proof to the Clerk's office of the basis for stopping the payments to avoid any confusion and/or problems down the road.
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.
