Guam § 34105 - Termination of Child Support.

§ 34105. Termination of Child Support.

(a) An order of current child support entered by a Court or tribunal shall terminate by operation of law

when the child on whose behalf the support is owed marries, becomes emancipated, or the latter of reaching

the age of majority or graduating from high school or equivalent, but not to exceed nineteen (19) years of

age; provided that the child remains in the custody and care of, and resides with, the custodial parent, or for

those who are identified as special education students, who continue with their high school program, the

order shall extend through the age of twenty-two (22). If the child is still in high school and is due to turn

eighteen (18) years of age, or twenty-one (21) years of age for special education students, during the school

year, the custodial parent shall inform the Office of the Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement

Division no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the child’s eighteenth (18th) birthday, or twenty-

first (21st) birthday for special education students. The custodial parent shall at that time submit to the

Office of Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement Division an official certification of

enrollment/attendance evidencing his or her child’s active status as a student. In the event the child is no

longer enrolled as a student, voluntarily or involuntarily, the custodial parent shall, within ten (10) business

days, notify the Office of the Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement Division, upon which time

child support shall terminate.

(b) The provisions contained in § 34105.2 (a) shall not apply to child support cases where a different

arrangement has been agreed to by the custodial parent and non-custodial parent, extending child support

obligations beyond eighteen (18) years of age, and which agreements have been duly approved by a Court

or tribunal.
