This is a situation in Texas. My husband has been paying child support for two kids for several years. One of the two kids turned 18 3 yrs ago and the second turned 18 July 2000. The second child was in the 11th grade last school year (99-2000). He was scheduled to graduate this school year (2000-2001). We recently discovered he was showing as an inactive student at the high school he has always attended. We also learned he was not living with the mother. Therefore, my husband contacted the mother and over the phone she offered a verbal agreement that he may discontinue child support. The divorce decree implies support is required until last child turns 18 or graduates high school. No stiplulations in divorce papers about continued payment for college. Anyway, one week later the ex-wife called and informed my husband that the child was going to move back in and will be registered in school within the week. After all this, my question is.. Is my husband still obligated to pay child support? The child is going to be registered in a "special" school that works with drop outs. This child has moved in and out of his mothers house several times in the last year. It is a very unstable environment. We have offered to take custody and have him live with us but the child refused to sign over rights to assign his father as the primary custody holder. Thank you for your time.
