21 years old is an adult so why would you need to emancipate them?

[Fr_Chuck]

For child support yes 21 is when they are emancipted and support should end at that point.

[N0help4u]

Oh yeah they are informing you that since the 'child' is 21 now the payments will now be .00
I was thinking you wanted to get emancipated primarily.
