Full Question:

My daughter, an 18 year old senior in high school, and is living at home. She enlisted in the Colorado National Guard upon her 18th birthday. Does that impact her status relating to child support, etc, under the Colorado Emancipation of Minors Laws?

Answer:

Title 14, Art. 10, 1.6 (Colorado Statutes): Regarding child support orders, unless a court finds that a child is otherwise emancipated, emancipation occurs and child support terminates when the child attains nineteen years of age unless one or more of the following conditions exist: (c) If the child is still in high school or an equivalent program, support continues until the end of the month following graduation.
