Help Interpreting Child Support Agreement
child support attorney California Aug 21, 2026
Location: California I'm re-reading my divorce settlement agreement and it says this about child support: "Payments shall begin on *date* and shall continue until further orders of the court, or until said child(ren) marries, dies, or is emancipated, reaches the age of 19, or reaches 18 and is not a full-time high-school student and not self-supporting, whichever occurs first." My kids are full-time college students and are not self-supporting. They are 18 and 20. Does this mean that child support payments were supposed to continue until they turned 19? Or should they have stopped at 18 because they finished high school before their 18th birthday?
