Required process to end child support Payments

[Finny]

My 18 year old son will meet one of the emancipation parameters when he graduates in June AND starts his newly obtained full-time job.

Do I need to go back to court to stop making payments?

Or do I just give my ex a friendly reminder that payments are ending or do I just stop and let her figure it out and find her copy of the separation agreement?

Also, in the event he loses this job or changes his mind and goes to school, does the old agreement just kick in again or do both of us have to go back to court and extablish new guidelines?

Thanks

PS - this is a Massachusetts court issue.

if the state Title IV-d agency is enforceing the support, "you "need to notify them that said child is reached the age majority.
also, if there is no distinguishment of what will happen if said child does no follow his/her career and decides to go back to school"in youre decree" then there has to be a new hearing if either party thinks support is pertinent. remembering that said child is no longer a child being that they reached the age of majority.

Depends on what the court order says.  

If the court order says that child support continues through college, then chances are if this is just a summer job until the fall, when college starts, you will still have to pay child support.

If he isn't going to collge, then you need to go to court to stop the payments.
