My 19 year old son is a heroine addict while I’m still paying child support NJ?
Question by Kimoko: My 19 year old son is a heroine addict while I’m still paying child support NJ?
My 19 year old son is a heroine addict while I’m still paying child support . I don’t have custody of my child, but i pay child support for him to begin community college. Obviously, he can’t continue school under his conditions. So does anyone know if there is a way for me to legally stop paying child support in order to have money to help my child get into a good rehab center. The amount of child support i’m paying prohibits me from fully supporting my son. Is there anyway i can bring his heroine addiction to court for a reason to stop paying child support.I live in NJ.
Please refrain from complaining about the child support cutoff being at age eighteen in your state. It is simply not the same case in NJ.
I was never married to the mother of my son, so there were no divorce decree’s to look upon.
My son needs help which he can find at a rehabilitation center, and he’s wasting time ” going to college.” ( he’s only attended twice.)

Why are you paying child support on an adult to begin with? In Texas the cutoff is 18. NJ is a hellhole!
Answer by Felonious Monkey
I’d go back and check your original divorce decree. Child support typically ends when the child turns 18 or graduates high school – whichever is later. Normally you only have to pay child support beyond this cutoff if the child has a disability.
