Re: Child Support
In Virginia under S20-61 the duty to support a minor child ends(except for incapcitated children) unless there is an agreement by the obligor(the one paying the support) which has been incorporated into a court order such as a property settlement agreement(PSA)incorporated (but not merged)into a final decree of divorce, whereby the obligor agrees to continiue the support while the child attends college, up to a certain age.
Re: Child Support
Addition and correction to previous answer: The first line of my answer should read duty to support ends "when the child reaches age 18"...
