New York State law requires each parent to financially support their child until they reach the age of 21. The non-custodial parent (the person without physical custody) is usually ordered to make payments to the custodial parent according to the New York Child Support Standards Act. Child support could be settled as part of your divorce or after filing a petition in Family Court.
