My oldst child is 19,graduates this May.What do we need in order for my child support to stop?I assume her birth certificate,mabye proof she is no longer in school?Should I go ahead and start proceedings now,so that by May it will be ready?Do I have to actually go to court ,or does the attorney just petition the court?

Thank You.

Re: Cessation of Child support

You will need a court order ending the child support, and yes if the custodia parent does not agree to termination and will not sign an agreed order then you need to file a Petition now to get it ended. You might not need to go to court along with your attorney for it.... but more than likely you will.
