Read the answer above first, use the example to make it concrete, then follow the steps below. When another form or topic becomes necessary, the link appears exactly where that subject enters the process.
What this means in plain English
That does not mean every past support order disappears automatically. If a child just turned 18 or there is an unusual existing order, verify the status before assuming nothing remains. See the just-turned-18 guide.
Example: Both children are 23 and 27. There is no new parenting plan or normal child-support worksheet for them in the divorce.
