Is it your wife that is supposed to be paying support or is he legally your son? And in Indiana it usually stops at 21 if they are in college so I'm surprized to hear that you are still paying unless there was a different stupulation made when the case was originally set. You might want to look at your original divorce papers and see what they say.

My husband & I pay support to my step sons mother. JR needs 1 more credit to finish his degree but then wishes to continue on to law school. There is nothing in the divorce decree in reference to college at all.
