My daughter is a full time student at a college. Her father wants to stop the child support when she turns 21. Can my daughter continue to receive her child support until she graduates ?

It all depends on what your court order states.

What does the support order say? Generally, a support order will specify when the support can end.

[Fr_Chuck]

Yes, the actual court order that was done at the time child support was started, should state specificly at what age support ends

[cdad]

If it doesn't say support ended at 18. And unless it was agreed upon California doesn't write education orders into support orders on a typical basis.

To agree with Califdad... education orders, when granted are usually agreed upon as part of a divorce, and are not generally included in a child support order.

Lets be clear about this. I stated about California. Some states like New York and Indiana do have provisions for it in their respective laws. And more states have been trying to move that way.
