Raises the age at which child support obligations terminate from 21 to 22 years old, unless the child support order specifically extends support for reasons involving incapacity or education.

Extends the age limit for child support during secondary school enrollment from 21 to 22, provided the child continues attending and progressing toward completion of the program.

Extends the age limit for child support during vocational or higher education from 21 to 22, if the child enrolls by October first following secondary school graduation and maintains at least 12 credit hours per semester with passing grades.
