"When do my child support payments end"(3) - BlogBite

BlogBite (16)

Child support and when it ends is a topic on which we received the MOST questions.

For this reason, we have decided to include some simple question and answer hypotheticals in our BlogBites.

Question: My daughter really wants to go to college. She just finished high school but the program to which she wants to apply tells her she needs to get more specific high school credits before she can submit her application. She is going to take the credits, while living with her mother, but she can only take them on a part-time basis. It will take her 3 semesters, part-time, to get them. She said she will work part-time as well, while she is attending school part-time. Do I still have to pay child support?

Answer: In our view, YES. Your daughter has a plan. She plans to attend college and she has looked into how to apply. The further courses she is taking will permit her to apply to a program of her choice. In our view, the court will not be concerned about the fact that she is taking them on a part-time basis only, particularly since she is also planning on working. In other works, she is not idle - she is applying herself. She should save a portion of her earnings during this time and contribute them to the cost of her college education, particularly if you and her mother's income brackets are not high.

Remember, no two cases are alike. Apply any hypotheticals to your case with care!
