Hello All,
My wife suffers from Multiple Sclerosis and also collects a minimal amount
of child support from her ex-husband. Her son, my stepson, turns 18 years
old this month but still will be attending high school this coming year as
well as attending college after that. When his father paid this months
child support, he mentioned that this was "the last one". Isn't he
obligated to pay child support until he has finished high school, or perhaps
all the way through college? Can anyone direct me to any online sources of
information where I can get some clarification? I would be interested in
finding out exactly what Missouri's laws are regarding this. Any help would
be appreciated.
One other foot note, as my wife's MS has progressed fairly rapidly, I
recently obtained a power of attorney so that I am able to make legal
decisions for her. Would this entitle me to contact Missouri Social
Services on her behalf?
Thanks for any and all input/advice/help.
