To make an accurate assessment it would be necessary to know the exact and entire wording of the age stipulation. Logic would dictate that it would have been necessary for the custodial parent to give permission for the minor to leave school before graduation. Therefore, the age of 18 would apply rather than the stipulation of graduating from high school. The best and safest option would be to consult an attorney who is licensed to practice in the state where the order was issued. If she has dropped out of school and has a job or has married, probably not. If she's just staying home, either talk to the judge or wait until her graduating class is done or the school will verify that there is no way that she can graduate with the class. Don't just stop making payments until you have good reason to believe that you are following the mandate of the court. Then you're done.

∙ 13y agoNot if the orders clearly state this, though that is not common in the US as many states go beyond that point. Some confusion in interpretation of this may exist in cases where the original order was in a state where support does end at age 18, but the child has been moved to another state. The jurisdiction remains with that state as long as the obligor parent lives there, or is transferred to the state where that parent may move. The state where the child has moved does not have long arm jurisdiction unless the obligor parent has moved there. see link below
