For all those paYORS of Child Support, heads up: Currently there are only three states that end child support at age 18 without caveat. Obamacare, with it's extension of healthcare benefits under the parent's wing till age 26 (already taking place in many states) could up the ante.

And just to pre-address the "stay married to a good woman and you won't have to worry about this" crowd, today's mostly narcissistic, feminazi Western women are fully trained in how to work the "women and children hit hardest" system/racket, especially in BLUE states. The comments in this article are fascinating.

Although this article makes no sense, I guess it is implying that men are now going to have to pay child support until kids are 26????? Or is it saying something else?

In Kansas its to age 18 or when the child graduates from HS whichever is later except that if the obligee has held back the child in school which makes him/her graduate at the age of 19, and the obligor was not involved in the decision, then it ends at 18.

How are you going to pay child support if you don’t have a job.

Yes but they tend to adopt other state’s policies; especially BLUE states as “progressive.” Also there are federal INCENTIVES for the highest amount of CS collected. So, for example, in NYS, if a father gets downsized in this economy, he can do an exercise in futility called going to court and filing for a downward modification. Which will take about three months to get on most court calendars. At that time a preliminary hearing will result and it will often be between 9 and 12 months before a downward mod is even considered.

That whole time the original CS amount from when he was employed continues to tick away on the meter and automatically puts him in arrears with penalties and interest should he not be able to have gainful employment almost immediately.

Downward mods are usually denied even though there is a substantial loss of income on the payors side (if said payor is a white male in particular; all other “classes” usually get cut a break).

My hubby pays $1000 a month (no arrears—he has never missed a penny)to his ex wife and earns $15 an hour. After NYS outrageous taxes, he’s lucky to bring home $200 a week and this will continue, under the age 26 guidelines, for the next 17 years—at which time he will be 61 years old. In the meantime she has remarried a guy who makes 80K a year and she earns more than my hubby does. I earn slightly more than his ex-wife.

Usually black males are not held to the same level of expectation as white males are; neither are the few females who are ordered to pay CS. Call it “Affirmative Action Based Child Support Collection”

I think you’re confused.

You are confusing what we know as court ordered Child Support with Obamanasty’s ACA that requires children up to age 26 te be covered under their parents insurance.

Those rules are getting rarer and rarer. Most moms know that if they can get their children on ADHD meds and labeled as “special needs” aka for the most part “lack of discipline,” they can collect CS well beyond 18 and past the age of 21. Therefore the “child” takes continual remedial grade school/high school non-acredited college courses well past 19 and can continue to collect CS and college funds from dear old dad. The community colleges in particular, LOVE this cash cow, by the way.

It doesn’t actually “require” the kids to be covered to 26 does it? It requires the insurance co. to cover the child up to 26. It doesn’t require dad or mom to keep him on the policy.

I have been pointing out the evils of child support/family court power for years, I know two father friends whose lives were ruined when their wife/wives ran off with their kids to another state, and the other another country, then successful sued them for child support for kids who were basically kidnapped from them.

There is no justice or Due Process. In Maryland they suspend the fathers license over CS then arrest them for driving to the courthouse for hearings, or arrest them for not showing up at the court house for hearings.

I got fed up with Judge Judy because she is obsessed with CS.

No confusion. This will set a LEGAL precedent and the states will start to follow suit.

After all, what isn't more "vote grabbing" then telling the soccer moms that they will all be able to collect that cash from dad up through Junior's 26th birthday? It is does not go unheeded that more and more adult "children" are living at home, playing xbox all day long instead of going out and working in an entry level job no matter how menial. You know, the things we used to do when we were 18.

There have already been a number of judges routinely ordering fathers to pay out-of-state or private school college tuition for their over-18 children, even when cheaper options were available.

Remember, Obamacare wasn’t going to “require” us to get rid of our doctors; it wasn’t going to “require” death panels; the penalty for not having insurance wasn’t a tax; the cost of insurance would go down and all other falacies that went along with it.

My hubby's ex-wife might as well have kidnapped them. We sold my home and moved to be closer to his kids into a real "fixer upper" (read: condemned). She didn't like that we weren't driving 45 minutes one way anymore; she never would meet halfway--we drove sometimes 4 round trips in a weekend because she would schedule the children for every extra curricular activity uner the sun in her town.

Nothing against extracurricular activities but when a child is doing nothing but kicking a soccer ball around (and tens of other activities) on dad's time, said child has zero bonding time and feel for dad's activities. Just another control mechanism.

She works at Child Protective Services so she made a phoney report and charged hubby with "age inappropriate work" for allowing a 11, 9 and 5 year old to empty their room's waste paper baskets. And it STUCK with her office cronies (he was placed on the NYS Child Abuse and Maltreatment Register) until I got it reversed after 6 months of paperwork and contacting local representatives. They reviewed the report and agreed that it was "unfounded" due to Malicious Mother syndrome. We no longer see them as they have "new" daddy now (google: Parental Alienation)
