Are you paying child support for an adult child and don't know if they still need it?
Are you paying child support to an adult child and unsure if they still need it?
When there's no relationship with the child and you don't know if they're working, continuing their studies, or have their own income, filing a lawsuit to terminate the support payments directly can be premature.
In these cases, it may be advisable to request preliminary proceedings to gather information before initiating legal action.
In this video, I explain:
• What preliminary proceedings are.
• When they can be requested.
• What information and documentation can be requested.
• When a review or termination of child support payments can be considered.
• What risks exist if a lawsuit is filed without sufficient evidence.
• How economic independence or academic underachievement can be assessed.
Reaching the age of majority does not automatically terminate child support payments. Nor is the lack of a relationship between parent and child sufficient on its own.
To determine whether it is appropriate to request the termination or modification of child support payments, it is necessary to analyze the child's economic, employment, and educational situation, as well as the specific circumstances of each case.
