My husband has been divorced for 19 years, his kids are 25,23 and 21. His divorce agreement (Massachusetts) states that he pays Child support until the youngest turns 18 or is emancipated and that the support shall continue for any child not having attained the age of 22, residing with the mother and soley dependent on her for support. The youngest graduates from college in May 2006 and turns 22 in Aug 2006. When she graduates from college is she considered emancipated? He doesn't know when the Child support is suppose to stop - when she graduates or when she turns 22. A lot of our friends say it should stop when she graduates. He also doesn't know what to do to stop the support - does he just stop paying or does he have to get a court order? We can't go to a lawyer because we don't have the money. We have two kids - ages 13 & 14. Thanks
Lisa
