Chesley, Kroon, Harvey and Carpenter – Lawyers

Chesley, Kroon, Harvey & Carpenter is a law firm with one hundred years experience among us to help you with your legal problems. We pride ourselves on being especially good at helping people who are not familiar with the legal system. We believe it is important to explain in a clear way to you how the legal system works and what your options are. We respect your right to make the decisions in your own case. That is why we make sure you know what you need to know to choose wisely.

Our Job

Many of our clients have never needed a lawyer before and have never had to deal with the legal system in their lives. Our first job is to find out from you what your problem is. Next we analyze your situation to find out what the options are for solving your problem. We then explain to you what the law can – or sometimes cannot – do and what your choices are. Finally, we work hard to get the best solution possible for you under the law.

Legal Q&A

Q: My ex wife and I have a son who is going to graduate from high school in June, but doesn’t turn age 18 until August. When does the child support obligation end? Does it make any difference if my son wants to go to college? Is child support still owed when he is in college?

A: In most cases, child support ends when a child turns both age 18 AND graduates from high school. This means that the child support obligation ends in August. As far as child support in college is concerned, there is no obligation to pay child support when a child is in college, unless it is something that you agreed upon in your divorce agreement.
