If a Parent Moves, Which State's Laws Govern the Age for Termination of Child Support
My question involves a child support case from the State of: New York
I have not seen my daughter since she was 6 years old. She is now 17. Her mother through the courts made it impossible for me to continue to challenge custody. I live 3.5 hours away from where my daughter lived and I have severe physical limitations which makes it very difficult for me to drive.
Now the mother has moved my daughter out of state to a state with an emancipation age of 18 without notifying me. The custody order says she MUST notify me before moving.
My question is when my daughter is 18 in a couple of months, can I challenge the support order and have it expunged through emancipation? I do not know if she's considering further education. Thanks for any response.
Re: If a Parent Moves, Which State's Laws Govern the Age for Termination of Child Sup
The laws of the state where the order originated are the laws that govern when child support terminates. If your order was entered in NY, support continues until the child turns 21 or is determined by a court to be emancipated regardless of where the mother and child now reside. Consult local counsel
