Child Support over age 18 in California
I live in California and will be turning 18 in January 2009. I want to know if I will still be able to get my child support. I know I need to be going to school at least part time to get the child support. Do I still have to live with my mother? Will the child support checks now be sent directly to me? Is there a set amount of classes or credits I need to take or earn to continue getting the support? Or can I just take a class and I'm eligible? Where can I go to find out information about this?
My brother left for college and my mom says he got his child support.. but I don't know if she's lying or not. Can I leave home, go to school and get my child support checks sent directly to me?
