Until what age do you pay child support in Manitoba?

This answer covers the law of Manitoba.

In Manitoba, you generally pay child support until your child turns 18, but support can continue past 18 if the child is still dependent because of illness or disability, or is in full-time school or post-secondary education. The age of majority in Manitoba is 18.

Support does not end by itself at 18 or when the child stops being dependent, unless your order, agreement or award says so. Under the Divorce Act, a child of the marriage can include a child at or over the age of majority who is still in the parents' charge but cannot withdraw from it or support themselves because of illness, disability or other cause. For a child at or over the age of majority, the court may apply the guidelines as if the child were a minor, unless it finds that inappropriate.

Which law applies depends on whether you were married and whether a divorce is sought. The Maintenance Enforcement Program reviews eligibility for children over 18 twice a year and stops enforcing support if the adult child is no longer dependent. Check your own order's wording and speak with a lawyer before you stop paying.
