Ask a Divorce Lawyer topics for Feb. 4: Child support and state guidelines; Child support and GEDs; Appeals and prior orders

Feb 04, 2010

Among the Ask a Divorce Lawyer questions answered today by Cordell & Cordell attorneys:

  • If we come to our own agreement on child support, do we have to adhere to the state's guidelines?
  • Does going to a few GED classes mean I have to keep paying my daughter's child support? And if she moves out, do I pay support to her or her mom?
  • If my lawyer submits a direct appeal to a child custody ruling, do the orders prior to the ruling still stand?

Ask a Lawyer: Emanicpation of 18-year-old

Nov 29, 1999

Question:

My 18 year old son dropped out of school 5 days after his 18th birthday. His counselor said that he was barely attending school before that anyway. His mother did not let me know that he dropped out as he was not living at her home much anyway at the time, but she was still receiving support as if he were. Support enforcement received the documentation from the counselor and said that he was emancipated and changed the support order to accomodate only one child who is now 13. My son's mother (disgruntled) made him enroll in GED classes in order to re-establish support. My current attorney says that based on the law he would have had to enroll in GED or other education before he dropped out, not 2-3 months after he dropped out, and the circumstances would have to be extenuating. Can they re-establish the order to pay, just because his mother wants to keep the money coming in?

Answer:

Emancipation is final, unless there is some extenuating circumstances. I do not think the GED program will have any impact on that. I agree with your attorney.
