One of the case laws Arabian had posted in one of my threads awhile back, I had been following with great interest:
That was her original post, to point out I could be in for an uphill battle to try to end my child support obligations. What caught my attention in that particular case was paragraph #18 where the judge states:
"The Father’s application to end child support as of September 2016 is dismissed. However given my Farden factors analysis in this case there is some question in my mind as to the son’s actual long term commitment to maintaining his studies, whether they are fulltime or part-time."
To be followed by paragraph #19:
"As such, as case management Judge, I will review this matter again after the current school year, in October 2017 in order to determine what progress the child made during the course of the 2016/17 school year, and what his intentions are going forward. At that time in October 2017, this issue of child support may have to be adjusted or re-determined depending on my analysis at that time of the Farden factors, and whether in the circumstances of this case, the child remains “dependent”."
Well, now fast forward to April 28th, 2017:

So, I guess for this mother using (or attempting to use) their over-18 child to continue to milk their dad and ex-hubby (a. k. a. FREE ATM machine) by playing the "school" card didn't work out too well.
