and may extend beyond the child’s eighteenth (18th) birthday in accordance with 23 Pa. C.S.A. §

other parent ends, regardless of which parent has physical custody of the child, and I may need to
make sacrifices to meet this burden.
As evidenced by my signature below, I accept my acknowledged parental duty of financial
support for the above-named child.
