Need to Stop Child Support for Adult Child
Lee Borden

Q. 

What should I do if my son is out of school and child support was to stop May 30th and did not?

A. 

I gather you are paying child support by income withholding order and that it's time for the child support to stop because the child is an adult. If so, file a certified copy of the child's birth certificate with the court (and if applicable, documentation that the child has finished school) and simply request that the income withholding order be terminated. Courts do that routinely.
