Termination of Child Support

Termination of child support refers to the ending of financial payments made by a parent to support their child. This typically occurs when the child reaches a certain age, usually 18 or graduates from high school, or if the child becomes financially independent. Additionally, child support can be terminated if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as the paying parent becoming unemployed, or if the custodial parent remarries. It’s important to follow legal procedures to ensure the termination is recognized by the court, preventing future disputes or unexpected payments.
