Emancipation
My divorce agreement does not address emanciaption. My child who is 18 has joined the air force and will be leaving his mothers home shortly. Can I automatically reduce the support from 25% to 17% (for my one remaining child living with my ex wife) or do I have to go to court?

Re: Emancipation
You may not unilaterly reduce your child support payments being made per a child support court order. You must file a Downward modification petition and proabably have your oldest child declared emancipated.
Good luck,
