Child Support

The Court of Appeals recently held that a child support obligation is fully terminated upon the child’s emancipation. When a support order is for more than one child the parent responsible for paying support can unilaterally reduce the support paid but in doing so runs the risk of an action to enforce support. Because of the method of calculation of the amount of the support obligation for the child or children not emancipated, the parent paying support should seek a Court order to determine the continuing support obligation. Brooks v. Brooks, Apr. 6, 2009.
