Child support continues after 18, with limits
Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee requires child support after age 18 when the child attends an accredited high school. Support ends when the child graduates or the class they belonged to at age 18 graduates, whichever happens first. Support must end when the child turns 19, except for children covered by the existing disability exception. In Title IV-D child support cases, the department must document the facts used to end support. It uses department records or written proof from the paying parent. Those facts include turning 18 and graduating, graduation of the child's age-18 class, or the child's death or marriage.
