QUESTION
MCL 552.605b Child support after 18 years of age. Sec. 5b.
Asked on Nov 16th, 2011 on Child Support - Michigan
More details to this question:
(2) The court may order child support for the time a child is regularly attending high school on a full-time basis with a reasonable expectation of completing sufficient credits to graduate from high school while residing on a full-time basis with the recipient of support or at an institution, but in no case after the child reaches 19 years and 6 months of age. A complaint or motion requesting support as provided in this section may be filed at any time before the child reaches 19 years and 6 months of age.
What if the child (now a majority) is not residing ¿with the recipient of support on a full-time basis¿. Isn¿t it true that this law is for special circumstances where there is some out of the ordinary situation that requires support because the child (now a majority) can¿t possible survive without it¿¿ As indicated in Child Custody Act of 1970; Act 91 of 1970; 722.27 Sec. 7.(1)(a) indicates clearly support ends when the child reaches 18 years of age.
