The court will then determine how much child support the non-custodial parent will need to contribute for child care, medical care, dental care and other child raising expenses.
Child Support Length Varies
There’s often a misconception that child support runs out when the child reaches 18 years old. Oklahoma statutes that deal with child support say, “Except [where the child has disabilities], any child shall be entitled to support by the parents until the child reaches eighteen (18) years of age. If a child is regularly enrolled in and attending high school, as set forth in Section 11-103.6 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, other means of high school education, or an alternative high school education program as a full-time student, the child shall be entitled to support by the parents until the child graduates from high school or until the age of twenty (20) years, whichever occurs first.
