I'm facing a very complicated child support payment problem in Washington state. I've interviewed several attorneys and so far none of them has any guidance as this is the first time they've heard of this problem.
Washington has a program called Running Start that allows high school students to attend community college part-time and receive both high school and college credit for the hours. It's a really great program. My eldest son (lives with mom) will be starting this program in the fall, right about the time he turns 18. However, he is somehow doing this differently in that he is registered full-time at Seattle City College and will be receiving factional high school credit. From what I understand of the way this has been arranged, he won't technically graduate high school until he finishes his AA two years from now.
The other part of this is that in Washington child support is paid until the child is 18, or until they graduate high school, whichever comes *last*. So this would seem to be a loophole to allow an additional year+ of child support.
Like I said, I haven't found an attorney yet who has even the smallest bit of advice on this one. This may actually be the first time it's been an issue in Washington.
If anyone has any suggestions of places to look, thing to read, or persons to consult with, I would greatly appreciate.
Thank.
