the father now says that since she is married he no longer has to pay child support and can go to court to have it ended. can he ?????? they got divorced in utah |
My response:
Where did she live, both prior to, and during, her marriage? If she lived in Utah prior to, and during her marriage, he is correct. The State of Utah does not have an emancipation law. However, if a person under eighteen marries or joins the U.S. Armed Forces, parents are not held accountable for their child's welfare.
The only way that child support would start again is if she received an "annulment" of her marriage from the court - - not a "divorce."
