My son is graduating high school this year and plans to live on college campus in the fall. Am I required to pay child support to my ex-wife while my son lives on campus?
Carrms said:We have joint custody with one week on and one week off. I pay support to my ex for my son until he is 21 or emancipated. He is currently 18. Bottom line is I can't afford child support and my sons room and board to live on campus.
There is no mention in the settlement about child support for when my son is in college.
That is a goofy and confusing order.
Your child became emancipated at age 18.
I don't know why your order says 21.
I'd petition the court to terminate child support, by virtue of his emancipation.
Even if you were ordered to continue child support, I see no mention of paying child support and college expenses.
If the court orders you to continue payments, they'd stay the same.
Get a good lawyer and fight this poorly written order.
