If a child is 21 year's of age and has a 9 month old baby, can her mother still collect child support for her from the father?

Whether or not the child is emancipated and therefore the parents relieved of the duty to support the child, depends on the facts of the case.  The issue is fact-sensitive and the essential inquiry is whether the child has moved "beyond the sphere of influence and responsibility exercised by a parent and obtained an independent status of her own."  The child's age and the fact that the child has a child of her own are important facts to consider; however, they are not the only important facts to consider.  Other facts to consider include whether or not the child is attending college full time, on an uninterrupted basis, the grades the child is earning in college, and others.
