Daughter is 20yrs of age and not in school nor working?

Q–  my daughter is 20yrs old and does not work and is not in college. she already graduated high school in June 2023 and does not want to attend college she has been looking for full-time work . I have no court child support with her dad he gives me cash as per verbal agreement as child support. If I take him to court for e child support till my daughter is 21, will she be considered emancipated since she is not in school and not working?

A– No – under these circumstances she’d only be emancipated if she’s self-supporting. NY continues child support, generally, until age 21 irrespective of attendance at college. Please contact a Westchester Child Support attorney foe more info.
