Taylor v. Bonsall

Donald Taylor, Jr. (""father"") appeals an order granting Terrie Bonsall's (""mother"") motion for modification of the parties' final judgment of dissolution by extending his obligation to pay child support past their daughter's eighteenth birthday. The father argues that under a stipulation between himself and the mother, he would be responsible for extended child support only if the court entered such an order prior to the child's reaching age eighteen. No order extending the father's obligation was entered before the child's eighteenth birthday. Therefore, he concludes the mother and daughter must file a separate legal action for support. We agree.
