It depends what the law is in your country? In the UK dads have to pay until 16th birthday or to the age of 20 if they are in full time education.
I have kids and my partner also has two step sons and he has said he will stop paying at the age he can so for example 18 when they leave sixth form etc. If he then wanted to support the children he would give them money not their mum
Where I live you have to pay child support until the child is 19 or until the month after graduation, whichever is later. Do you not have a court ordered child support agreement?
I don't think you're wrong for being upset over this. I think as long as your son is in high-school he should still help in supporting him. As a parent I think he should continue to help your son when needed, even after this point. But don't necessarily think it should be a weekly payment to you.
I mean that’s up to the dad tbh once he’s 18 he’s no longer responsible for him. But I’d be mad to.
this! I’d be upset but there’s not much you can do with people like that. Fighting will just make it worse. He seems to have washed his hands of his kid smh
