ANSWERS: 16

At least 18 - or if the child is attending college, he should pony up for that as well.

18. no matter what happened between the parents, you have to take care of your children.
-
Either 18 if they are at home, maybe before if they leave home and work full time. Maybe later if the child is going to University - maybe its not called maintenance then, but I think it would be appropriate for some support to be paid in some cases.

18, or under 23 and in full time education ( ireland )
-
In Ireland a ex spouse is required to pay maintenance till the child reaches the age of 18.If the child is in full time education e.g uni,college or otherwise, they receive maintenance till the age of 23.

You may be talking about two different things. Spousal support is based on such items as the ability of the payer to make the payments, his income and so forth. Usually, but not always, spousal support payments stop when the divorced spouse re-marries. Child support is something else. As a rule, when the child becomes a legal adult, or age 18, is usually the time child support payments terminate. However, if the father can afford it and the child is obviously destined for higher education, the Court may require child support payments to continue, either until the child is 21 or until graduation. Depends on the jurisdiction. Might also depend on the willingness of the father to pay and how much he is interested in cutting off the child support.

YOU MUST BE THE MAN HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE THE CHILD OR IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY

18 or older if the child is attending school.

For child support/maintenance - it's 18 unless they continue living with the custodial parent while attending college - then, I believe its 22 or 24. (Supposedly, when they graduate.) It also depends on the nastiness of the custodial parent. For example, my ex only took money until my kids turned 18. ONE went to college, and I helped HIM when I could. The other lived with her, tried living alone (I helped when I could), and ended up back with her. He's looking and saving for his own place, now. I also knew a guy who's wife hit him with court to raise his payments every time he OR she changed jobs and/or got a raise. (Here, it's supposed to be a set amount per child, and payments based on percentages against total income of both parents, and how much they contribute.)

if they get full time job at 16 u can stop then or otherwise its 19 if they in education
-
If your are talking about support for the children, I believe until they are 18. Not sure about the college years. If you are talking about spousal support, I personally, wouldnt ever take ANY of my ex's money...it's like "dirty money" to me.
-
When the child has finnished compulsary education and has a job and can stand on their own two feet.

In WI it is till the age of 18...my daughter's father kept disappearing every time they caught up with him...he usually got paid under the table...he was in arrears for the amount of $80,000, (that was including interest)...I dropped the interest which was half and I gave my daughter the debit card that comes from the bank that the payments are deposited in by Social Services...she is in college now and it is coming in handy for her....it buys her groceries...so until the balance is paid off....he will be paying in....

A child should be 18

Here, again, it is difficult to determine whether you are referring to child support or payment (e.g., alimony) to a wife who has spent her life raising the child for you. As to the former, once the child is capable, or should be capable, of maintaining himself/herself on his/her own, such payments should stop. As for maintenance to the wife, if she made a "career" of raising your child in a good home and your child is a successful product of her rearing, I would say she should be gladly, gratefully and appreciatively awarded a "pension" of sorts, especially if she, as a consequence, is unqualified to perform meaningful employment to maintain her own normal standard of living. I have never faced such a situation, but if I did, I would insure that the mother of my child, who spent her life raising a good son or daughter, or more, would live as comfortable as I was able to provide.
