Hi Nathan, thanks for the question. As this post says, child support in Washington usually ends when a child turns 18 or graduates high school, whichever happens later. Usually is the key word.

Hi Trini, if they’re college or vocational training classes, that most likely would count as post-secondary education. However, one important thing to note is that, in most cases, you have to petition for continued support BEFORE a child turns 18. So, if that does happen, it shouldn’t be a total, out-of-the-blue surprise. Again, that’s how it usually happens. Things can vary case to case–perhaps Alaska does things differently–and in general, if you’re concerned about it, it’s probably in your best interests to talk to an attorney about it.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for the question. This can vary some from one case to the next. I passed your contact information along to our managing attorney, Ken Alan. He will be in touch soon, and when he hears some of the specifics, he’ll hopefully be able to offer more insight than we can get into here. Best!

That’s a good question, Caryn. Thanks for reaching out. I passed your contact information along to Ken Alan, our managing attorney. He will be in contact soon with a more in-depth answer than we can get into here.
