Child Support Termination

Dear Justwannaknow:

Greetings. If you are paying through the North Carolina Child Support Enforcement Agency, you will want to contact the case worker in charge of your child support payment. Best of luck.

I send the child support to the central collection place in Raleigh; it is not garnished from my wages. Is that the Support Enforcement Agency? As far as I know, I don’t have a case worker in charge of my payment.

Dear Justwannaknow:

Greetings. After some more research, I found a case directly on point. If the child has dropped out of high school and is pursuing his GED and he moved out, you must file a motion to terminate your child support. Best of luck.

My son turns 18 at the end of November. He has moved out of his mothers home and is living in another state with relatives. He has dropped out of high school and is pursuing his GED (supposedly). I understand that under these circumstances (with court-ordered child support) I am no longer obligated to pay the child support. I need to know what I need to send to the court (or to who or where) to show the changed circumstances and be legally relieved of my obligation.
