What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina
Hello. I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I looked through other threads for my answer and got close to what I need to know but am still unsure.
In S.C., I understand that child support ends at 18 or upon high school graduation after age 18. No definite time frame is stated in the divorce decree. I currently pay on two children, One turns 18 soon and support should end. Do I need to submit paperwork for this to take effect and if so, where do I find it? I suspect I need to go back to court to recalculate the support I will need to pay for just one child. My ex wife is pretty reasonable, can we make our own agreement without getting the court involved? I pay child support to her directly and not through the clerk of court.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
