    I'm not sure I understand. Your child has been emancipated, you are asking the court to modify the child support you are to pay, and you wish the court to also set aside the emancipation decree?

    I suppose I'm not clear on this, my husband went to the child suppot division, they told him his son was emancipated. (now 18) he didn't have to pay child support for him. Since he is still in school, can they chsnge the decision?

    Where would this be? In many states at 18 you are an adult and support ends, in college or not.

    Some states allow support after 18, if in full time school, others do not. Even in states that allow it, it will depend on the actual court order.

    If the one party, filed in court, there was a hearing and the judge ruled the child was emancipated then the other parent could attempt to appeal that ruling,

    The child support division told my husband that his son was emancipated. Does that mean he no longer pays child support for him?

    Emancipation is a court ruling that the child is capable of taking care of himself and no longer needs to be supported by either parent. Child support would be payable to the custodial parent anyway, not the child. So yes, if he is emancipated it follows that the non-custodial parent would no longer be obligated to pay child support.
