We want to be your trusted advisers during these difficult times. With more than 25 years of experience in Suffolk, Nassau and New York City, you can be certain that...
- Q. Can a parent have the child support terminated when the 18 year-old child did not graduate from HS and still enrolled?
- A: In NY child support terminates at the age of 21. Early termination is extremely difficult. You would need to prove the child is currently self supporting with a full time job. Contact an attorney to talk about your specific circumstances.
- Q. Can you be retroactive charged for child support if you received an increase of pay or switched jobs to a higher salary?
- A: If there is no child support order at all (either from Family Court or through Divorce) you can not be obligated to pay any retroactive support, with the exception if the custodial parent is on public assistance. If there is an active order, retroactivity only goes to the filing date of a new support modification petition. Again, if there is an issue of public assistance then there can be retroactivity to the date of the beginning of public assistance for the child.
- Q. My order ended on 5/12/2020 as my daughter turned 21, now I received an order to show cause, will it be restarted?
- A: Child support terminates at 21 and can not be continued after unless agreed to, and then until 22 if the child is in college, but only if agreed. Other provisions (not child support) could be addressed. Speak to an attorney.
