Laws current as of September 4, 2024 If I have more than one child, will my child support automatically be reduced as the children become adults?
If your child support order sets out a specific amount per child, per payment, then you would not have to continue to pay for a child that is no longer eligible for support. Otherwise, you will continue to owe the same amount until a judge changes the order.1 See Can my child support order be changed? for more information on modification.
