Emancipation And Child Support

[shasha]

My question is about the emancipation law in SC. I have a son who will be 18 in a week. He's still in school (10th grade ) don't know if he will pass this year or not. I pay child support, what is the law regarding this. Do I still have to continuing paying child support or know.

What does your court order say?

and what does this have to do with speeding tickets?

This is the second such post in the "speeding tickets" forum in just a few days. I guess these kids are afraid of exceeding the speed limit in their haste to move out.

How long is the NCP ordered to pay child support?

Once the NCP is ordered to pay child support, the order is effective until the NCP petitions the court for a dismissal order and the court dismisses the support order. When the child is emancipated, or reaches the age of eighteen (18), the NCP may petition the court for a dismissal order. However, if the child is still in school or there are other reasons for the court to order child support to continue, the court may do so.
