The father brought a motion to terminate child support for an adult child retroactive to January 1, 2010.
The evidence showed the child had resided primarily with the father since 2010, had completed college, and was working full-time as an automotive apprentice, rendering him financially independent.
The court found the child was no longer entitled to support but declined to terminate support retroactively due to the father's lengthy delay in bringing the motion and the likelihood the funds had already been spent.
The mother's cross-motion seeking a historical review of child support and extensive financial disclosure was dismissed due to her own delay in pursuing the claim.
Child support was terminated prospectively and the mother was ordered to pay partial indemnity costs.
