NC child support termination exact date?
North Carolina wants money for my daughter through June 30th. I think they are legally entitled to money through May 31st, the last day she will be completing requirements (NC 50.13.4 "making ... progress") towards graduation. Since they seem to want to (illegally [the statute says without further court action]) drag me into court one more time I want it to stop ASAP.
If the judge won't go for May 31st, I want June 8th, the day she could walk across the stage, and not give them the 21 extra days. She is 18. I'm hoping someone in the Yahoo community knows the case I need to cite to stop it on a certain day. There isn't enough money at stake to hire a lawyer.
Gates v. Gates does reference a certain day, but doesn't explicitly say CS terminates on that date.
I see very little evidence all the money is spent on my daughter. She doesn't have expensive tastes in food nor expensive tastes in clothes. Indeed she must be forced to go shopping for clothes.
Many of you seem to enjoy paying the state money and being harangued. I have always paid what was due and before the state got involved often paid extra. In addition, at the end of every bill sent they reference 147-86.23 which tells us of draconian fees for overdue accounts for a State agency's account receivable. NC proposes (I've never tested it.) to collect $50 for a bounced $250 check. (Banks process bounced checks for like $3; that they have despicable fees is no excuse for the state to be more despicable.) I don't enjoy being harangued by the state.
Last, but not least, the money is paid to my ex-wife. One summer this was tested. My daughter was away for a couple of months (with her grandmothers). Who should the support be paid to in that case? The grandmot
I see I was cut off. the grandmothers certainly had utility, food, et cetera costs. I know my mother was not reimbursed. This in spite of the court order being clear she should be. Yes, I have not talking a lot of money. My point is the money goes to 1) the state, 2) my ex-wife, and maybe to my daughter.
--------
Although a truly automated process would mean that a bounced check costs a bank only the price of a stamp and the paper, apparently there is still some manual processing. I believe in the US it is $3. In England it is comparable. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6507865.stm).
I wonder how you folks would feel about giving your ex-husband an extra $200.
Just_My_Opinion: The point isn't how much the bank charges, the point is how absurdly high the fee is. How would you feel if you agreed to do business where they agree they will credit the money and forward it within 6-10 days. Then they turn around and say there is a bounced check fee of 15 - 30%. And you can't get out of this newly changed deal. I hope, that even as a bank employee, you would find this to be despicable.
I see I am getting no answers to my question. Although my daughter doesn't understand why we hate each other she has assured me that when her mother says bad things about me she just shrugs it off. I don't complain to her about crazy fees or tell her how much money I sent to the state which they give most of to her mother. So I don't know how much she really sees of it.

If she doesn't graduate until June 8th then you have to pay child support for the month of June (the entire amount, not a pro-rated amount). Might I suggest that you enjoy your child's graduation (and be grateful that NC does not require child support during college) instead of acting like an absolute jerk?
EDITED TO ADD THIS:
The child support is to cover all manner of things from shelter, electricity, running water (and your daughter is using a portion of those utilities), food, medical expenses, school expenses and a hundred other things right down to toilet paper and soap. It is not merely to cover clothing and the like.
When daughter is visiting grandma (ie for the summer or whenever) grandma is not entitled to the child support. If you were to visit your relatives for a month would you still have to pay the rent/mortgage payment where you live? Of course, otherwise, you would not have a home to return to. Same principal here—daughter has to have a home to return back to.
Any company can charge any amount they want for a bounced check fee. If you think it’s too expensive, then apparently they accomplished their goal of dissuading you from bouncing a check (that’s one of the purposes of the fee). And by the way, I don’t know a single company or bank that only charges $3 for a bounced check. And I live in NC and worked in the banking industry for years.
Stop being a jerk. I feel sorry for your child. And I suggest you look into therapy for yourself because you have a lot of anger, and not a single thing you’ve said here justifies it.

When my ex lived in NC..I in CA, our daughter turned 18 and he had to go to court to get it to stop. In his case, prior, he had not paid anything for 10 years so he didn't get out of the back owed.
Anyway, why are you so worried about the extra 21 days. I mean really, it's your daughter and this must make her feel like crap that you are so worried about those last few weeks. Being you don't have extra money for a lawyer, just let it go. You will be free soon enough from the obligation.

Really you're making a big deal out of one month of child support? Obviously you've paid child support all these years, because you have been forced to pay it, not because you care about your child and her financial needs. I really feel sorry for your child that she has father that cares so much about one month's worth of child support that he will make such a big stink about it.
Well lucky you, come July you won't have to part with your money anymore and you can wash your hands of any responsibility for your child that was force on you all these years. You can happily spend all that money on your self! I hope you and your money will be very happy and your child's mother cares more about your daughter then the money in her wallet.

The way I always understood child support law was support stops after the child graduates plus 6 mths in case they go back to school / college.
