Yes, child support ends when the child turns 18. Getting remarried will usually stop alimony payments, but not child support. Child support will still have to be paid to the mother even if she gets remarried. |

Yes, when the youngest child turns 18 the Child Support will end. The father will no longer have to pay the other parent. |

It ends when the support order says it does. Usually, it is 18, however, there is a modern trend to require support through college. The marital status of the mother is irrelevant. the father is the father, and he owes support. |

It is stipulated in the papers. Normally, it ends when the child finishes high school or college, but is very hard to enforce after age 18. |

It ends when the child is 18, UNLESS they decide to go to college, then you still have to pay. Or if the woman decides to drop it. |

In most states, if the custodial parent gets supplemental income
from someone else (i.e. a new spouse), then the non custodial
parent is at least somewhat relieved of his or her financial
responsibilities.
If the custodial parent marries someone that contributes no
money, then the non custodial parent is still on the hook. |

When you pay everything you owe. For example, if you are to pay $50 a week until the child reaches 18 years old put you miss 6 months of payments when the child is 16, then you will pay until you make up those payments. I have a friend who right now is making payments and his child is 25 years old, but he missed a lot of years not paying. He's under court order, if he don't pay them he goes to jail.
To your specific question. If the wife remarrys, you still have to pay unless the new husband adopts the child, but then you can only stop paying if the court authorizes it.
In some cases, you may have to pay child support until they reach 21, but again, only if the court orders it. |

Yes it either ends when the child turns 18 (or 18 and graduated from school).or after the debt is completely paid up (if back child support is still owed). Some states do allow the child to keep collecting support if they chose to keep going to school..college, etc. |

CHILD SUPPORT WILL BE PAID AS LONG AS THE CHILD IS IN SCHOOL, THIS INCLUDES COLLEGE. |

state specific; usually 18 or 21 depending on school status. Remarriage doesn't not make the child yours any longer. |

18 for child support
alimony depends on the judge's ruling and the agreement |

It usually ends when the child turns 18 or finishes school. If the ex-spouse remarries that does not relinquish the parent from supporting his or her child. |

It depends on the original agreement. Some people pay child support until the child is age 21, some just until 18. |

when the child turns 18, the step father adopts the child |

child support continues till the children are legal adults....most states is 18. Alimony stops when the spouse gets remarried. |

Ive always known it to be when the child turns 18 but some are made to pay for the child's college. depends on the divorce agreement. and just because one gets remarried doesn't end child support. |

it's doesn't necessarily end when they turn 18 if the child goes to college the courts can decide that child support has to be paid until they are 22 at which time they should have graduated from college, the child has to attend college full-time however. My mom still gets child support for me and I'm 20 but I attend college full-time. |

I dont know what state you are in, but most states, child support ends at 18.
Marriage by the person who has the children, does not end the others obligation to pay child support.
If the children decide to go to college, usually the parent who doesnt have custody, has to pay for that too, if its in the agreement, and it usually is. |

My mom and dad divorced when i was 2.He paid child support til i graduated college.Not sure if it was a deal between him and my mom or between him and the courts.If I did not go to college it would have ended at 18. I got it til I was 21. |

A child costs money to take care of until they turn 18. The only way you can avoid child support is to take custody of the child. However, I heard there are ways to avoid child support before the child is born if you ask the right attorney. |

The new husband in a relationship is not the Father, so yes the Father still pays. I think court ordered child support ends at 18, but many times it ends when the child gets out of college. I am a mother and I know that Children are a lifetime commitment. We should help our children if we can when they are in need throughout their lives. |

18 or longer if the child goes to college. |

Yep...that's when it ends, when they turn 18. My dad got child support from his ex-wife even after he got remarried and had me with my mom. |

Child support ends at 18. Alimony ends when the spouse remarries. |

Legal obligation ends when the child turns 18 or is legally adopted by step parent or is emancipated. If the minor is still in school the courts in some states can enforce child support payments until the age of 19. |

Normally child support ends when the child turns 18. In many cases the person paying child support may also have to pay some amount of tuition for college as well but in that case the money goes to the school not a parent. |
