    Emancipation
    Daughter is 20 years old. We still pay child support to her mother. She is in college. Full time student. We furnish car, insurance, clothes, tuition, spending money EVERYTHING for her. She lives on campus and attends school during summer. We will continue to pay for school etc. When can we emancipate her and stop paying child support to her mother whom she rarely sees or visits?

    You need to talk with the attorney that drew up the child support agreement or the court that ordered it. Sounds like you are directly paying all expenses for the child, so the mother isn't incurring any and shouldn't be getting support.

    In most states children are emancipated at the age of 18 or 19. You shouldn't be paying child support unless you were behind on payments.
