Hi,

My son will be 18 in October, but because he is special needs, he will be continuing full time school in September until he turns 21. I was told from support enforcement that he can be eligible for child support until the age of 19 if he is still attending school.

However, others told me that if I was divorced in the 1990's, it is only up to the age of 18, if I was divorced after a certain year, they changed the law to 19 years of age.

Is this true?

He should be eligible after 18 I would think
But you would need to go to court and have the order modified by the Judge to reflect that. I would get started before he turns 18.

Also he should qualify for social security disability even if he is living at home with you.
My son collected ssd from the time he was 8.
Unless you are in a high income bracket then you may not qualify.

What state is this ? Also you could seek child support because of his special needs but you will have to get court approval of it.
