Can I stop paying child support?

Questioner

I pay child support. My son will be 20 in October. I have asked him to show whether he is working or studying. I have not received a response. Is he obliged to show this to me? If he continues to refuse to do so, do I have to continue paying the contribution or can I stop doing so?

Lawyer

Indeed, a child from 18 must indicate his income and living situation. If you are certain that you have reached him by e-mail/app or letter, for example, you can choose not to pay anymore. You must expect that you may still have to pay if he does come back to this at some point with a substantive response.
