Unless the order or agreement that obligated the father to pay child support says that he must do so, even if the daughter has a baby, is not living at home, or has a full time job, then the answer is no- the father is not obligated. However, the father cannot unilaterally cease paying support. he will have to petition in the Family Court to terminate the support, based upon the emancipation of the daughter.
