Re: child support

Tough question. Under some circumstances, support continues until you file a motion to terminate support. Under other circumstances, support terminates automatically. An attorney should review the papers for you, and give you an opinion. Meanwhile, be careful to appeal before time runs out on the appeal, or you may be stuck with the ruling even if it is wrong.
