Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age unless the child is still in high school - in which case the support ends upon the child's graduation from high school, or the child's 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. Child support may continue past that time if the child is disabled and only by court order.

Until the age of 18, or if the child is still in high school it continues until the age of 19 or graduation, whichever comes first.

If you send your child to the father for a year should you be required to send him the child support money back?

Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.


You live in Louisiana you have a child and you are not married to the father but you live together what financial responsibilities does he have?

In Louisiana, if you live together and have a child but are not married, the father still has financial responsibilities. He is legally obligated to provide financial support for the child, which may include child support payments. This means he should contribute towards the child's expenses such as healthcare, education, and basic needs.

Is it legal for a mother to collect child support while the father is living with her and the child?

It depends on the state. In most states the father would still be required to pay child support, even though he is living with the mother and the child. However, if the father was financially supporting the mother and child, it's likely that the courts would suspend the child support order.
