Can he stop paying child support?

Questioner

I live with my new husband and child (she will be 18 in September). Now my ex-husband indicates that from the moment she turns 18, it will come down to her having to pay for everything herself - having to take out her own health insurance with all the associated costs, the loss of the clothing allowance she currently receives from us and possibly having to apply for a supplementary grant. I am shocked by this because she has no work at all and with her part-time job she barely earns anything to get through the month. So I would like to provide for her, but he sees it very differently. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to communicate with him to ask how we should deal with this and why he is simply dropping all financial obligations. I still want to make agreements about this with him and record them until she is 21. What is the right way to go about this? And what obligations does he have until she is 21? What are costs that fall under child support, for example? Can he simply stop paying support after she is 18?

Lawyer

The law requires him to contribute to her living expenses and education until she is 21. So he is not allowed to stop when she is 18. If alimony has ever been determined in a court order, your daughter will be able to submit the collection of this to the LBIO free of charge if her father fails to pay voluntarily (if there is a arrears of at least 1 month). If alimony has never been determined by the court, the gentleman can be written to about it. If he still refuses to pay, your daughter can file a request with the court to obtain alimony. If desired, she can contact them.
