There seems to be a lot of different answers to "when does child support end?" ...
Our court order does not specify an end date for CS, Our child is 19 years old, endured her final two years of high school in the pandemic, took a GAP year (didn't want university to be on a screen) and went travelling for 4/12 months. She lived at home with me (custodial parent) for 8/12 months. Now is away at school September - April.
I have been served with motion to vary child support from her father. Father wants to not pay anymore and wants me to pay retroactive CS back to him back to her 18th birthday -- about $11K. He is in arrears for 16 months of CS (FRO has paid out half of it but since he didn't update his salary, he owes another $300/month and hasn't paid that for 16 months = $4800.)
Father was underemployed 10 years ago due to professional misconduct and underpaid child support (dropped from $1000 to $200/month) for 5 years then retrained and is now sitting on 800K in his checking account, make 125K, spouse makes $285K and family monthly income is just over 30K. My yearly income is $50K , monthly is about $4K.
Now that he CAN finally pay child support, he wants to end it and to have me pay him back for the last 16months.
What's my strategy in response? I'd like to simply say: pay until end of first degree. Or, off that he pay full CS when she is living at home and reduced amount when she's at school? He IS paying for 50% of her education (with our RESPs).
