What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My son is a senior in high school and will be graduating in June 2011. He turned 18 last September. (His birth date fell outside the time frame for him to go begin school one year earlier). When he became 18, his father informed me he will no longer be paying child support for him. Even though he has turned 18, my son is still in high school and still living with me, as I have residential custody. It states in my divorce that support will be paid until 18 years of age or emancipated. I've tried contacting Illinois Child Support but never get a straight answer. I was informed that as of June 1, 2003, Illinois law allows for continuation of child support until the child graduates from high school. My attorney is no longer practicing or I would get him involved. Any ideas on how I can get this enforced without having to go through the expense of another attorey?
