How is child support determined in the state of NY? does a child receive support only until age 21 or does it continue as long as they are in school?
Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers
Child support in New York continues until the child reaches the age of majority (21) or is emancipated by operation of law. ie military, marriage, full time employment, court order. The amount that is paid is based on percentages. One child is 17% up to the first $80,000 of combined parental income. However, courts generally go above the statutory cap.

Child support continues until age 21 unless sooner emancipated. Typically, by agreement, however it does continue until age 22 if the child is enrolled full time in school.
