According to the divorce agreement my ex-wife and I signed, I must pay my ex-wife monthly child maintenance for our daughter until she is 21. I have lately found out that my daughter of 19 today, has been living with her boyfriend for the past 6 months. I have filed an application to cancel these monthly child support payments. Do I have a chance to win this in Court?

If your daughter no longer lives with your ex-wife (her mother), then it is likely that the Family Court will rule that you no longer have to pay child support, despite your divorce agreement. The Family Court in the Krayot gave a ruling in a similar case and cancelled the father’s obligation to pay child support to his daughter who moved in with her boyfriend and ruled that it was established and proven that the mother is no longer required to financially support the daughter’s needs (case # 61250-05-22).
