Child Support: When does it end?

[strongbad]

Okay, the last of strongbad's spawns have reached 18 and graduated h.s. I've looked over my divorce settlement and I think I'm finished legally having to make payments but not sure. Any idea how much it would cost me to have Matlock look at it for me?

18 and graduated HS? Unless the kid has some type of special needs, sounds like your done to me dude. Congrats!!!! My decree is written up the same way....I got 11 more months to go and counting....

Digging a shallow hole is a lot quicker and cheaper.

Usually it is at 18, unless you agreed to still support the spawn thru college.

In Texas, by statute it is 18, unless the child has not graduated from high school, then until the child graduates from high school .... which ever is sooner.

"Sec. 154.001. SUPPORT OF CHILD. (a) The court may order either or both parents to support a child in the manner specified by the order:

"(1) until the child is 18 years of age or until graduation from high school, whichever occurs later ....

There are specific requirements for "attendance" and "schooling" to get the additional support until high school graduation.

Sec. 154.002. CHILD SUPPORT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.

...it is/was illegal for strongbad to have sired any offspring.

I agree the shallow grave would have been much cheaper but believe me, this bitch would have found a way to dig herself out....

Nope, no other agreements made after 18 and graduated HS....But I've chosen to maintain a separate savings account for the fetus college fund....
