Today, instead of providing more facts or figures or quoting an author on the topic of emerging adults, I have decided to ask your support with the promise of more facts to come!
This journey is about making sure children of divorce, after the age of eighteen, still get the financial support, from the non-residential parent, to achieve their goals, be it attending college or looking for full time employment. If the child finds full time employment, child support would cease. If the child attends college, child support would remain in effect until the age of 23 or upon graduation. This gives the children from divorce families the same financial support they would have received had their parents remained married.
This proposed change to the law does not effect the State government, does not put an additional burden on any social institution, and does not require outside funding. This places the responsibility to financially support the children back on the parents where it belongs.
There are many non-residential parents who continue to support their children past the age of eighteen. This protects the children if one of the parents makes the choice to free themselves of their responsibility to ensure their child is ready to take on the responsibilities of adulthood.
If you are interested in joining this cause, please contact me at ohioschildren@gmail.com or ohio's children on facebook. I look forward to hearing from the many wonderful residents of Ohio! Thank you!
