Re: Child Support

While emancipation (removal of disabilities of minority) terminates the child support obligation, there are a few hurdles in the emancipation statute.

The biggest one that I see is that the custodial parent must verify the petition.

If your son is self supporting and the custodial parent is willing to verify your son's petition and end your child support obligation, send me an email. I practice in Bexar County.
