It depends on your state. Some will end CS automatically upon the Skid qualifying out from under the CS element of a CO. I think it is more difficult with multiple Skid situations where the Skids phase out over time as the older ones DQ from CS. NJ can be a tough one. I worked there for 6 years and had many employees who were victims of that holy hell of a CS state.

Better to push the issue than let it ride and have to pay for something that is not required IMHO.

Interestingly the Sperm Clan never moved to have CS reduced when SS turned 12 and we were no longer eligible to have the NCP help pay for day care. The paperwork said either or both parties had to initiate and of course we didn't. Not our problem. If they wanted to keep paying, we were fine with that. So they paid 6yrs of $40/mo for daycare that they were not required to pay for and we were not using. I chuckled about that periodically over that 6yrs.

Equally interesting was when they went tribal on getting CS ended on SS's 18th b-day. They had tried to get CS ended when he graduated from HS but their state is an "18 or HS graduation whichever is later" state.

Sperm GrandHag was pissed when she was told CS would not end until SS's 18th b-day which was ~3mos after he graduated. She called my bride on the final bitch shrieking banshee call fest "They won't let me stop paying CS. But it's not fair. He has graduated and is spending the whole summer with us. Why do we have to keep paying CS??? Whaaaaaaaaaa!" The answer was classic. "It is not fair that your idiot free breeding waste of skin son has spawned 4 out of wedlock children by three different women and not contributed a penny to support any of them. You and Sperm GrandPa chose to pay the CS obligation for your useless POS waste of skin son so ... STFU and keep writing those checks and don’t be late ... GrandHag!!!!" }:)

You should stay on top of this. Some kids do not graduate until a year or two later than they should and the NCP will often be on the hook until graduation even if the Skid's crappy performance is in large part due to the ineptitude of the CP. I had an employee that was never able to recover overpayment when his youngest finally graduated from HS. He was told it was his responsibility to manage his CS order and if he wanted his money back he had to ask the CP for it.

In our case the Sperm Clan should have been on the hook for 4more years of CS paid directly to SS while he was in college. He chose to not nail their balls to the wall for that.

They are lucky. I would have.

Happy birthday to your SS. I hope he is moving on to adventurous things after graduation.
