At What Age Is Child Support Terminated For A Handicapped Child? | Friendship Heights Lawyer

Video Overview

There is no specific rule for terminating support in Virginia for a handicapped child. If the child has a disability that prevents them from functioning independently after the typical age of 18 or after high school graduation, child support can continue as long as necessary, as determined by a court. The disability often needs to be established before the child reaches the usual termination age, and each case requires special consideration.
