Do I still have to pay child support after age 21 .If child is found mentally mildly handicapped?


Answers:
If you live within the United States, it's very probable, however it depends on how good your lawyer is, and how mild "mildly" is. If s/he is able to function on their own but has a small mental impairment, probably not. However, if s/he is not able to live on their own or take care of themselves and they end up remaining with the custodial parent because of this, it is very likely that you will be required to pay child support until at least the age of 24 [the age most states consider a person to be truely independant of their parents for reasons of college loans, child support, etc], if not longer.

You will need a very very good lawyer-good luck!
I thought it stopped at 18 anyways?
Depends which country you are in!
If you have any love and decency within you, you will always be there for them.
well we know it takes after you then
Your obligation to support your child began the day the child was born and will continue forever. Your legal obligation might end, but your moral obligation will not. you should be asking how best to support your mildly mentally handicapped adult child.
