Do I Have to Pay Child Support if My Daughter Doesn't Live at Home and is WorkingQuestion:

My daughter is 19 years old. She no longer lives at home and is working. How do I go about trying to end child support? Her mother uses all the money for herself anyways.

Answer:

You need to file a petition to modify child support in Family Court and allege that your daughter is emancipated. If you need assistance doing that, you should consult with a local attorney.
