Dear spursgal:

Greetings. If that is the case, with the clerk of court, my advice is that you do the following:

  1. Send a letter to your ex and let them know that child support ends with the payment on ____ date.

  2. Contact the clerk of court and ensure they know that your last payment is coming and that will tie up your file.

Otherwise, you should just stop paying. Good luck.

Hi, I want to clarify my first post. My step-son is all ready 18, he was held back in the 6th grade, he will turn 19 before he graduates in June. We pay child support to Raleigh each month by sending a personal check in, the child support is not withheld by employer. Our case is handled by the clerk of court (child support) so how will they know to end it automatically? I’m a bit confused I did read a post about ending the child support AFTER I posted the first time, should have read a few pages first. I guess I just need to know what is going to happen and what we need to do ourselves?

Thanks
