FAQ
Begin by addressing the letter to the appropriate recipient, whether it's the court or child support agency. Clearly state the reason for requesting the cancellation of child support payments. Provide any supporting documentation or evidence to strengthen your case. Be polite and professional in your tone and language.
While the general rule in Rhode Island is that child support ends at 18 or upon high school graduation, there are exceptions to this rule. These exceptions exist to account for unique circumstances that may require ongoing financial support for the child.
In most cases, child support obligations end when a child reaches the age of 18 or when the child graduates from high school. However, payments do not stop automatically on the child's birthday. The parent must file a motion to terminate child support with the Rhode Island Family Court.
Can a parent with physical custody of a child in Rhode Island waive RI child support? The short answer is yes. However, the Providence Family Court will typically leave child support open so that the custodial parent can change their decision at any time and seek child support.
The only way to stop RI child support payments is to file a motion to terminate child support. You should file one of these motions at least a month before your child's 18th birthday if you want to avoid paying child support after your child becomes an adult.
Typically you can do this either by contacting the child support enforcement agency and having the order terminated through administrative channels, or by filing a motion directly with the court that issued the original order.
In state-by-state rankings, Massachusetts ranks highest with the most expensive child support payments, averaging $1,187 per month. Virginia mandates the least support at $402 per month.
Non-Hispanic Black noncustodial parents owe the highest level of child support orders compared to non- Hispanic White noncustodial parents, partly due to the higher proportion of non- Hispanic Black parents who have children with multiple partners.
The varying yardsticks create some surprising results. For example, New Jersey ranks 47th in child support payments, even though it's one of the most expensive states in which to live. Massachusetts is first, and Nevada second.
