(b) Sections 601-604 and 601-611 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes govern the duration of a child's entitlement to support by parents when:

INSTRUCTIONS TO STAFF 340:25-5-179

 

  1. See Carr v. Carr, 834 P.2d 970 (Okla. 1992) which interprets Section 112 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes as meaning that support continues for an 18 year old child who is regularly and continuously attending high school if the custodial parent is providing the child with the necessities of life.

  2. If Oklahoma modifies the order of another state, the law of the state in which the original controlling order was entered governs the duration of support for the modified order.

  3. The age of majority varies by state.  Child support staff may use the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement online Intergovernmental Referral Guide on the Internet at http://ocse3.acf.hhs.gov/ext/irg/sps/selectastate.cfm to obtain information about referrals to other states for establishment of support.
