A proposito di questo titolo
Mark D. Hodgson explains when child support obligations end in Washington State and what circumstances might extend or modify these requirements.
Key topics covered:
- Standard termination age: when a child turns 18
- The high school exception: support continuing until age 18 or graduation, whichever comes later
- Special circumstances that may extend support obligations
- College expenses and post-secondary education support
- Children with disabilities who require ongoing care
- How emancipation affects support obligations
- Steps to formally terminate child support orders
In Washington, child support typically ends when a child reaches age 18. However, if the child is still enrolled in high school at 18, support continues until graduation or the child turns 19, whichever occurs first.
Mark clarifies that child support doesn't automatically stop—parents must take legal action to modify or terminate the order. He explains the proper procedures for ending support obligations and the consequences of stopping payments without court approval.
This practical guide helps parents know what to expect as their children approach adulthood and when support obligations may change.
