Why is my son obligated to pay child support until his daughter is 19 if she has two kids?
Full Question:
My son had a daughter when he was 19 years of age. He married and then divorced the mother two years later. My grandaughter is eighteen and pregnant for the second time. She was kicked out of school two years ago. Since then she has been in a school program where she is to turn in work once a week. She does not get the work done and has not advanced beyond a sophmore. She lives/rooms with her mom, but she and her child are on welfare. The welfare Dept/child services sent a notice saying my son must continue to pay until she is 19. He loves her, but cannot undrstand why he should continue to pay under these circumstances. Can you please define SELF-SUPPORTING and FULL TIME STUDENT within this context?
