I am currently paying court ordered child support and my daughter has graduated high school and will be turning 18 next month. After reading NCGS 50-13.4, I was curious about the definition of: If the child is still in [color=#FF0000]primary or secondary school[/color] when the child reaches age 18… My daughter, since graduation, has now enrolled in college and will start in the fall. Am I on the hook for support thru college? There is no verbage in our current order stating how long it will last.
I already have a motion drafted to file with the clerk fo court for the termination of child support and wanted to make sure this could be appropriate. The ex-spouse stated she was going to check with her attorney after saying she did some “research” and that child support could last until the age of 22 if a full-time student. If it does in-fact end and age the age of 18 and high school graduation, if she concents to my motion, will it still need to be calendared for a hearing or will the judge just sign the order for termination?
Thanks in advance for all responses…
