Child Support May Not Automatically End at High School Graduation!

Many parents are surprised to learn that a child support obligation does not always automatically terminate when a child turns 18 or graduates from high school. In many cases, you may need to take legal action to have your current child support order formally terminated.

Additionally, if you have a younger child who remains subject to the existing support order, you may also need to seek a modification of child support to ensure the amount being paid is properly adjusted.

If your child has reached 18 years of age and is expected to graduate high school soon, now is the time to understand your legal options and take the appropriate next steps.

TAX TIME! Don't forget to check your Parenting Plan before filing your taxes. Many Parenting Plans rotate which parent claims the child(ren) for a particular year. See what your Parenting Plan says before your file.

Text SCAM! Scammers don't rest, not even on Easter. Unexpected demands for payment are likely fake - just like this. Note, it says I have a hearing TOMORROW, which is designed to create urgency. Don't fall for it. Stop. Read. Consumer Protection starts with YOU, the consumer.

1. Notice the details. That's not a TN seal. In fact, it is hard to read what seal that is actually for... but it is not for General Sessions.

2. We do not have a Judge Rodriguez. Google it. Verify the claim.

3. Look the first paragraph. Is it saying my car is registered in Missouri or the problem happened in Missouri? Neither is accurate... and if it happened in Missouri, why is a TN statute applied?

4. The General Sessions Courthouse is not on 2nd Wenue (Wenue?).

5. 615 is one of our local area codes, not 613, which appears to be an area code in Canada.

Always be cautious in opening emails from unknown senders - and should you choose to open it, be even more cautious if it asks for money. The Davidson County Circuit Court Clerk issued the below notice about a scam offering a QR code to pay moving violation tickets. This particular scam, purporting to be from a Tennessee agency, has the wrong state seal and odd spellings. Share this post with friends so they won't fall for this trick!
