Question:

I am wondering about the termination of child support and whether my child is considered emancipated. My daughter is 18, still in high school, and has a child of her own, but she no longer lives with us.

She is on an extended high school graduation schedule where she will not graduate for another year. What are our chances of filing a motion for termination of child support based on these facts and the court honoring the request?

Question:

My daughter turns 18 in July and I pay child support. I just discovered that because she missed so many days of school, she will not have enough credits to graduate. Do I have to continue to pay child support if she has to take an extra year of high school because she was held back in school for simply not going enough?

Among the Ask a Divorce Lawyer questions answered today by Cordell & Cordell, P.C. attorneys:

• Do I have the right to demand a DNA test be performed to determine if I am the father or not?
• When a child turns 18 years old, is visitation required to continue until the child graduates from high school?
• I sent my daughter to another state to live with her mother because of problems she was having here under the condition that she would be enrolled in school immediately. That didn't happen so I want to know what I need to do to have her returned to me?

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

• My estranged stepson is 19 and graduating high school in June. His insurance that we have been paying will cancel in July if he doesn't go to college as a full-time student, which he most likely won't do. Will we still be responsible for paying for his insurance even after it is canceled by my husband's work? 
• Is there a statute of limitations on collecting child support?
• My husband's ex was awarded the home in the divorce but she is now buying a new home. Can we ask for the property back since she probably was only awarded it to provide a roof for the kids?

Question: My son is 18 but will not graduate high school until he is 21. My divorce papers say I pay child support until he graduates high school at the expected age of 18 or 19. 

Will I have to pay support for two more years because he didn’t graduate at 18 or 19 which our divorce papers outlined?
