What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
That depends. Has his daughter completed high school? Does his order stipulate that support shall continue past age 18?My husband's daughter turned 18 in July. We live in the state of IL. His ex-wife is trying to continue child support for after high school expenses. Is he required to pay such a thing?
Is she going for more support, a new child support case, or is she trying to get paid arrears? Because if dad was behind, he's still gonna be paying til he's caught up.She graduated from high school in June. The order did not state any stipulation for child support to continue. Do you know the law in IL on this???

750 ILCS 5/505750 ILCS 5/505 (from Ch. 40, par. 505)
Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties.
(a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, declaration of invalidity of marriage, a proceeding for child support following dissolution of the marriage by a court which lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a previous order for child support under Section 510 of this Act, or any proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the court may order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an amount reasonable and necessary for his support, without regard to marital misconduct. The duty of support owed to a child includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable and necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of the child. For purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall include any child under age 18 and any child under age 19 who is still attending high school.
He was supporting his child for crying out loud. It's his obligation.he is not behind, she is just really greedy. He has paid over $90,000 over the past 15 years and he is a truck driver. We are seriously ready to put this to rest for crying out loud.
the obligation was not to the mother... it was to his daughter. the payment went to mom, but it was for the daughter.and his obligation to the child's mother now comes to an end!
Well she's not your child and you CHOSE to get involved with a man with financial obligations, so pack up your stone cold heart and go away!you obviously don't have any children or have very spoiled children if you think it takes more than $500 a month for one child. Seriously, not everyone lives on a lawyer's salary!
