Child support payments are not automatically terminated after a child is emancipated. A child support obligor will have to request for child support payments to be terminated after the child reaches the age of majority or a minor child is emancipated.
Most states have held that in order for a parent to be liable for an adult child's support due to disability, the disability itself must have arisen prior to the child's majority. In other words, once a child reaches majority and becomes emancipated, a subsequent disability cannot revive the duty of support.s stated above, the common law imposes on parents the obligation to support their children until the children are of the age of majority. The law presumes that once a child has reached the age of majority the child is then capable of self-support. See generally 59 Am.
