Well, that's awfully generous....so many other states are 18!
Brand-new information!?!? To YOU.
Read more, post less. You don't even know the basics. Please, for the posters.

really? Thanks for proving the very point I've been trying to make. I'm not part of the "cool" crowd so it's fair game when I say something that you don't like!

It has nothing to do with your perception of "cool."really? Thanks for proving the very point I've been trying to make. I'm not part of the "cool" crowd so it's fair game when I say something that you don't like!
There are 4 states and Puerto Rico that are up to 21 w/o special provisions. So, 21 is outside the norm.
I didn't know. I admit I don't know everything. I don't try to know everything, or act like I know everything.
So, other's can ask questions for clarification, but when I do it's not ok?It has nothing to do with your perception of "cool."
It's everything to do with you jumping onto threads and offering nothing to the poster but your own questions. If you don't know about NY CS, why pipe up? Just read and learn, for the sake of the poster.
What others? The OP can ask lots of questions.So, other's can ask questions for clarification, but when I do it's not ok?
And as it was finally determined it wasn't a child support issue in the first place.
I am not at all sure that I agree with that cbg....suddenly discovering that you are without health insurance when you seriously need it, when someone else has paid money to make sure that you are insured is enough to devastate just about anyone. Yeah, the court orders are between the parents, but the OP has been seriously effected by his mother's lack of honoring the court order. That has to be a really huge blow...and a huge violation of the trust between a parent and child.Coming late to this party but I have rarely if ever seen such an entitlement mentality or such a spoiled little brat. My hands are ITCHING to turn this little monster over my knee.
I also have a trust fund that I have no access to. The trust fund is who provides the money for my insurance. The trust fund is in my name.
Not intending to start a battle with you specifically and my apologies if it sounds that way.(or anybody for that matter) but that is not the case in NY.It just happens you made the statement is a simple and concise manner so there are no other issues surrounding it.Child support is always for the parent, never for the child.
Yes but she is a 3rd party beneficiary. She may actually have an action against her mother if the mother did not pay what the money is required to be used for.You are not a party to your parent's court order. Apply for Medicaid.

A child can actually initiate child support actions against both parents if the situation warrants it. In such a case, the child support can actually be paid directly to the child. As far as I know, NY is unique in this possibility.

I don't know why the father is paying the mother anything if the child does not live with the mother though. I suspect we might be being trolled.
I was also covering a great deal of my own freight at that age, even though I was still in school. I was a Resident Assistant so my room and board was covered and I got a small stipend, plus I worked summers to cover most of my tuition. However, I knew and expected that my health insurance was covered. I would have been devastated if my parents had cut that off without warning. Of course health insurance was different back then, it only covered catastrophic health care needs, but my parents also paid a modest yearly fee for me to receive free ordinary health care from the University hospital system. Yes, back then students got free ordinary health care for a very modest fee. If I remember correctly it was 50.00 a semester and covered absolutely everything except catastrophic stuff. There was a special clinic at the university hospital for students. It even covered broken bones.I am by no means certain we've gotten the straight story, here, though.
However, even if we are, it's the "I have no responsibility to take care of myself - my mother and my trust fund are supposed to do it" attitude that's getting me. She's an adult, for crying out loud. At 21 she should be pulling up her big-girl panties and realizing that life is not going to hand her everything forever - sooner or later she's going to get kicked out of the nest. The majority of legal, emancipated adults aren't getting huge sums of money to care for them - they're having to pay for their own support. But this special snowflake seems to think it's her RIGHT to have someone else paying her bills. At her age, I was also still in college but I was working and paying as much of my own keep as I could, and I'd have been ashamed to sound like this brat sounds to the outside world.
I am correct from the first letter I typed to the last. If you want to consider that; to a point, then I guess you would be right in your statement. If you want to apply it to a different situation than what I was speaking to, then it could be 100% wrong, 50% wrong, or any other amount.You are correct to a point. Based on OP's story, she did not appear to be. OP did not state mom threw her out. She stated that she did not live with mom. The effect of self emancipation has been held to relieve a parent of support obligation prior to 21 in NY.
