DH's was to go until the age of 18, graduation from high school, or emancipation (GED, marriage, becoming a parent, or joining the military) whichever occurs first.

At this time, when SS reaches 18 in 2 years DH's should go up, however, BM is also supposed to (under IA law) pay for 1/3 of the customary college expenses associated with attending an in-state public university. I wuld hazard a guess she can't afford anything close to that. So as long as she doesn't start raising a ruckus to get an increase we won't either. IF SD is living with BM there is no way in h3ll she'll be going to college so DH's CS will end no later than about 5 years from now.

I stopped being able to collect in 2003. At the rate the ex is paying the past due, I will be 60, in 16 more years when he is done paying.

H's first case was over in 2006, had to keep paying until 19, when both of them dropped out at 16, one had a baby at 16. So I guess we paid for diapers and formula for a grandbaby.

With SS that lives with us, well we don't get a dime. With his grades, college?, don't quite think that is going to happen. We have been looking at JOB CORPS as an option. They will take him at 16, this DEC. So if he keeps pulling crap, he might be going? At least there, they will teach him a trade so he will be able to get more than a min. wage job, graduate, or get his GED.
If he straightens up, then H has plans for him to go into the military, SS has been talking about the military too.

This is the first time in alot of years, that we have no kids to support, it will only be for 2 1/2 months, while SS is at Bm's for the summer, but it is sure nice not having to spend any money, but for H and I. It is amazing, just in the milk savings, instead of 7 gallons a week, we only use 1.

DH will stop paying in May 2012. SS will have turned 18 the previous December.

But just as with my children who are residing in this home, we will contribute what we can, within reason, as long as they are pursuing a secondary education. (And, truth be known, even if they don't seek higher education, as long as they are really trying but just need a little help here and there, we will help.)

CS on my oldest ends in May 2010. CS on my middle son will end in May 2014. Both will have turned 18 in the previous February and March respectively.

Leanne - How does the Job Corps thing work. I think that is something that DH should look into for his daughters...Just to get them a trade or something before they head out into the real world. No HS education is going to hurt them more than they realize.

My CS ended last Saturday (June 21st) when my youngest child graduated high school. I went to the graduation which should have been a wonderful experience for my child, but it was spoiled when two hours before the graduation ceremony my ex told our children that she was selling her condo and moving and our children were not going with her.

For me CO#1 says till the kids are 18 or out of high school (D is a late fall baby so she didn't make the school cut-off) 5years it'll drop, 7 years completely done. But I know X#1, he'll try to weasle out of it early. I don't know if I'll pursue it, I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
C0#2 summer of 2023 (good Lord I'll be over 50 *gasp*) unless there's a SO adoption at some point. Who knows what will happen with this BF. Its a crap shoot.
