Legal Question in Family Law in California
A child support question (for California, U.S.): the ex-wife submitted a court ordered garnishment for her portion of child support to her ex-husband's employer, once the child turns 18, can the ex-husband simply file a paper with the court asking to terminate the child support and then submit the granted paper to his employer?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Child support terminates when the child turns 18 if he or she graduates high school. If not, the obligation continues until the child is 19 or graduates high school, whichever occurs first. The court may order the parties to pay support longer if the parties agreed to it.
To stop garnishment, it may be necessary to file a motion or a request for an order terminating child support, and have the order served on the employer.
