    Default New York Emancipation and Child Support

    Can someone please give me clear definition under the courts of when a child is considered emancipated for the ex to stop paying child support?

    My divorce decree says child support will cease "at time of graduation from college or emancipation" - doesn't appear too clear to me. How would a judge read it?

    Thanks,

    Mary

    College graduation is pretty self-explanatory. As for emanciption, most likely as requiring that your daughter establish financial independence or otherwise abandon the parent-child relationship.

    Thanks for your help. That's the way I read - I'm just never too sure when it comes to a judge though!
    Thanks again ~ Mary
