Did You Know?    
 
 
Child support ends on the emancipation of a child.
Emancipation, meaning the child coming of age and capable of self-support, is determined under state law. In Massachusetts and Hawaii, for example, that may occur as late as the age of 23, unless a child is incapacitated. Georgia and many of its sister states set the age at 18. Furthermore, each of the 50 states has its own version of the Child Support Guidelines to help calculate an appropriate amount of support in a case.

 


When families separated, most arguments revolve around how the belongings will be distributed. One of the biggest worries as a parent, however, is the question of child support payments that are necessary to provide the child the same future as if the parents were not divorced. Des Moines child support lawyers possess knowledge from many years of child support cases and provided valuable information on how to assure your child’s future.
