Clarification on terminating child support

[wavehopper27]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts

I currently pay support to my ex for our 19 year old daughter who's in college. The way I understand it child support can continue until age 21 unless she is enrolled in a full time undergraduate degree program in which case it can go until age 23.

Here's my question. She is enrolled in a 2 year degree program and is supposed to graduate this summer. If she enrolls in another curriculum, will CS continue beyond her 21st birthday even though she has graduated with an Associate degree from the other program?

It seems to me that, as long as she is "enrolled in a full time undergraduate program," the CS continues. I also would assume that she can take the summer off, like many students do, without losing her support.

That's what I figured. I also suspect that the judge can exercise discretion in a case like this so it could probably go either way.
