Well...in the first place you can't repeat an entire year of high school in one summer school session...

Child support generally does continue until a child graduates from high school...even if they did have to repeat one year of school. Therefore the case probably can be reopened.

the child needs 2 credits only to graduate and it is rare for a child to repeat entire 12th. grade due to ged and summerschool being available. therefore he needed special approval by the md. board of education. in order to repeat senior season.

I hope that you are not suggesting that a GED is just as good as a diploma b/c it's not. And the classes he failed may not be a part of the summer school program. Most schools only offer the basics, like math, english, etc.

You need to find what he failed and the availability of those classes in his school's summer program.
