Switching states for child support

[Neal1421]

CS in MO ends at 18 unless there is a provision in the order prior to the child attaining the age of 18 which allows for CS to be paid until the age of 21 as long as the child is enrolled full time in post-secondary school.

I believe TN has very similar guidelines.

You are correct, TN's guidelines are about the same as far as when child support ends.

Thanks

Thanks to all for great advice. I have more questions but I am going to start another thread in order to invite max responses (if this is in bad form for the forum here, please let me know).

Under the UIFSA, CS termination date is one of the nonmodifiable aspects of a CS order. In the OPs case, the CS termination date follows the rules for the state where the original order was entered even if they neither party still resides in this state. For example, if the original order was in NY where CS can be ordered to age 21 and all parties move to a state where the maximum length of time for CS is 18, CS can be order until age 21.

Well that is NOT the case with my husbands modified order. they followed the new state guidelines to the letter.

If the questions are about CS, stick to this thread.

If the new questions are about custody, start a new one there.

I'm don't know the specifics of your husband's case, but here's an article that explains the nonmodifiable aspects of a CS order. The author also discusses specific cases concerning this issue.

Before the No Child Left Behind Act was passed, many states hadn't enacted UIFSA like provisions that's why you hear about cases where people have multiple CS orders. No Child Left Behind required states to adopt the UIFSA as a condition for recieving federal funding for certain entitlement programs.

thanks for the link....

you would think the new state would just continue to enforce the old order with the old states guidelines....because that doesn't seem fair either....

not to worried though in my personal case...the ex is likely not bright enough to figure it out...and so far we don't have a college bound kid whish is where after 18 support comes into play.

but I am close to hijacking....

Has nothing to do w/No Child Left Behind though. I think NCLB is not only the worst piece of legislation ever passed, but the most misunderstood and misapplied one too.

Wasn't there someone else on here once before (a few months ago) that thought NCLB had to do with custody/support.

People... NCLB is educational legislation!!!!
