Post-majority child support questions are increasingly common in Wyoming divorce cases as parents and courts grapple with when a child’s legal obligation to receive support should end.
Most states, and Wyoming in particular, end child support when a child reaches adulthood, typically 18, though support often continues through high school graduation if the child remains enrolled.
Under Wyoming law, a support obligation may extend to age 20 when the child is attending high school or an equivalent full-time program, per Wyo.
Parents may contract in a divorce decree to continue support after the age of majority; for example, for post high school education.
The question was whether post-majority support was warranted where the adult child had physical or mental impairments.
