Question: I went to DCSE to have my support modified. My daughter just turned 17 on 4/12 & graduated high school 6/12. They said they STOPPED MY CHILD SUPPORT because they said she graduated! She has health issues & I need to find doctors where she will be going to college (in Hawaii). I need to file disability for myself. She JUST barely turned 17. Can they do that? 

Answer:

The following is provided for general information only. To find out how the law applies to a specific situation, contact an attorney directly. Child support typically runs until the child turns 18, or 19 if still in high school. General information may be located on the Supreme Court's website regarding commonly asked child support qustions. However, for the specific answers to this case see the child support order which might also have the date that child support should stop accruing.
