In New York State, a child is entitled to be supported by his or her parents until the age of 21. However, if the child is under 21 years of age, and is married, or self-supporting, or in the military, the child is considered to be "emancipated" and the parents' support obligation ends.

Spousal support may be ordered even when spouses reside together. In New York State a married person may be legally responsible to provide for the support of his or her spouse during their marriage, if that spouse lacks sufficient income or assets to provide for his or her own reasonable needs.

In a New York state divorce, child support generally continues under CSSA until you turns 21 if you are not self-supporting. The rule of thumb there is: military, married, or working full time. If you are in college, for example, child support should contribute to what your mother pays toward your educational expenses.

Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
