Bill > SB2463

This bill modifies Tennessee law regarding child support obligations, specifying that a parent's duty to support a child generally ends when the child turns 19 years old. Previously, support could continue if a child was still enrolled in high school past age 18, but this bill clarifies that this extension is limited, and support will not continue beyond age 19 unless the child is handicapped or disabled, as defined in the law. The bill also updates provisions related to child support cases handled by the department, ensuring that termination of support aligns with these new age limits and conditions.
