Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Child support beyond age 18

My divorce decree was issued in Nevada (1991) requiring me to pay child support until my child is 21 yrs of age. My daughter is now 18 yrs old and we all reside in the state of Texas. Can I file a petition to have my divorce decree changed or voided since child support laws have changed? Am I obligated to continue providing support?

Re: Child support beyond age 18

You are not if your daughter has graduated from high school. Otherwise, when she graduates or her 19th birthday, whichever happens first.

For $300 I can have your decree changed and it would not require you to come to Las Vegas.
