Many people assume that court ordered child support obligations in New York automatically stops at 21—but that’s not always the case. In some instances, support magistrates require a court order to officially end payments. Yes, you read that correctly. Even though the statute is clear that support ends at the age of 21, the obligation may go beyond that age, if you are not proactive. Without a clear end date in the court order, a payor could still be on the hook for back payments, even after the child turns 21. Imagine thinking your obligation is over, only to be taken to court years later for unpaid support. It sounds unreasonable, but it’s happening. The best way to avoid this? Make sure your agreement clearly states a date certain when child support ends and have it “so-ordered” by a judge. Having this date included in a court order, alleviates any possible discrepancies that may arise later. This small step can prevent unexpected financial and legal issues down the road. Divorce and co-parenting already come with enough challenges—uncertainty about child support shouldn’t be one of them. At Long Island Collaborative Divorce Professionals, we help ensure your agreements are clear, fair, and enforceable. Need guidance?

Divorce is challenging for children of all ages, yet older children are often overlooked in traditional court proceedings. There's a tendency to focus on the younger ones, assuming that the older children can handle the emotional toll on their own. This is especially true in the court system, with the main focus being on children under 18 years old. But the reality is, teens and older children need support. How does the Collaborative Divorce Process address this? By prioritizing the well-being of every family member, regardless of age. Collaborative Divorce focuses on open communication, with professionals who understand the unique needs of older children during a divorce. Instead of navigating the emotional stress of court, the collaborative process allows families to work together to create solutions that support all children—whether they're 5 or 15. It gives kids the chance to express their feelings in a safe, controlled environment, ensuring their voices are heard and respected. Divorce doesn’t have to leave anyone behind.
