Additional Support at Age 12
The amount of child support a parent may receive in Washington depends on a number of factors. One such factor is the age of a child. When a child turns 12 in Washington, the custodial parent may seek additional support, but they must take appropriate legal action to do so.
College Support in Washington
In Washington, child support does not necessarily stop at age 18. Financial support may be required until the child has reached 23 years of age or until the completion of a bachelor's degree. Frequently, these cases can be resolved by mutual agreement of the parties. You can work these out by agreement so that no contested court proceeding is necessary.
Each child support order has a different time when child support is set to expire. You need to request, before the date your support ends under the terms of your order (often at age 18; sometimes earlier), that the court order additional support!
Child Support Modifications and Adjustments
Obtaining a child support adjustment is typically cheaper than a full child support modification. Whereas a modification changes the terms of a previous custody order (such as extending child support through college), the adjustment merely changes the amount paid by one parent to another.
