This question is not clear. If you are asking if you can stop paying child support when a child reaches age 17, the answer depends on what the judge ordered you to pay. The legal age for an adult is 18 in the state of Minnesota. If this does not answer your question, ask another question using words that make it clear what you want to know.
No. In NYC a parent has to support a child until the child is 21 years old or becomes emancipated. Emancipation means a child is living separately and independently from a parent, or is self-supporting.
Yes! A child is not obligated to support themsleves finacially until they are emancipated.
No. You are not considered an adult in Minnesota until you reach the age of 18. Your parents still are responsible for you.
Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, or is removed from disability status by a court order. see link
The statute of limitations for arrears of child support in the state of Washington is ten years after the payment is delinquent. In the case that a minor is emancipated, the statute of limitations is ten years after the emancipation.Ê
I believe that such a child would be considered emancipated in most jurisdictions. However, don't stop paying support on your own - get a court order terminating support and finding that you are not in arrears.
In New York State the maximum age for child support is 21 years old. However that is considered "emancipated" if the child gets married, becomes self-supporting, or joins the military.
If you are 18 years old you are considered an adult and can do what you wish.
If the child is not yet of age/emancipated, child support could be ordered once paternity is established.
No.
You became emancipated naturally when you turned 18 so no.
