Child support (lawyers)?
If you are a male living in the state of Pa and you move to kentucky does your child support raise?
And how old does a girl have to be to stop paying child support for?
And how old does a boy have to be to stop paying child support for?
thanks to all thouse who helps
If your court order for support was started in PA, then PA will continue to hold jurisdiction no matter how many different states you move to. The only way to move the support order to another state is if "everybody" moved out of the original state that started the order. And even then, it is moved to the state that the child is residing in. So the formulas that PA uses, will continue to apply when you move to KY. The only way that your child support will change is if your income changes. So if you are moving to take a better paying job, then it could go up. But if your going to be making the same, then it won’t change.
It does not matter if the child is a boy or girl. The same rules apply. By default law you pay until age 18 or HS grad date whichever is last. So even if the child graduates HS but doesn’t turn 18 until that summer or later, you are still paying support. Or if the child turns 18 but still has some HS time left, then you pay unitl the HS grad date. The only way to keep the support going on through college or past HS, is if you previously agreed in a court document to do so. (Now some states go until 21 regardless of school status, but PA is not one of them.). Some divorces now-a-days include college. So if your court docs say that you pay for college, then you keep paying support. But if your court docs do not specify a specific age or stop date, then you pay according to the default laws of 18 or HS grad date.
I am not a lawyer but I can answer these questions. Moving will not cause your support to raise. Support would change if incomes had changed and one party had asked for a review. All children whether boy or girl need to be supported until age 18 (in some cases until 19 if they are still in high school).

I am not a lawyer, however, I do know that the age of a child is 18-19 before a support payment would be complete. Support payments can be reviewed to accomodate the childs needs based on age, child care etc. The move I wouldn’t think would be relevant to your support payments unless you are making more money where you are going. Each state has their own formula they use (which can differ), but your case should stay in the state/county in which it originated in unless you file to move it and it is granted.
