My cousin is getting ready to end paying child support for his 18 year old twin girls. They will graduate next month. The child support order is standard in that it says support ends when the child turns 18 or graduates high school, which ever comes last. His girls turned 18 two months ago and since they graduate next month his last child support payment will be on May 15.
He's always paid the court directly. He takes a check in every two weeks its logged in the court and sent to the state from there. He mentioned to his ex last week that the support would be ending in May so not to be expecting a check in june.
She had to have known this was coming but regardless she told him he couldn't just stop paying that he had to go to court to stop paying and that she could easily 6 more months out of him before he could get a court date.
The question is since there is no garnishment order because he has always just paid it himself to the court does he have to go to court to stop the support or can he just stop paying when the girls graduate?
