It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.

Can our 19 year old college daughter file for emancipation so neither of her parents are obligated to pay child support she want to switch off staying with both parent?
Emancipation is a legal process that involves a minor petitioning the court to be recognized as legally independent from their parents. If your daughter is 19, she may not need to go through the emancipation process as she is already considered a legal adult. However, child support obligations are determined by the court and are based on factors such as parental income and the child's needs, not necessarily on where the child chooses to stay. It is recommended to consult with a family law attorney for guidance on this matter.

My ex said if she files for child support onour 18 year old i will have to pay support until she finishes college is this true?
In most countries 18 is the age when young people legally become adults. If this is the case in your country, then when a child turns 18, child support would terminate unless they are still at secondary school (then support continues to the end of the school year) However, if you daughter is attending college she probably requires continuing parental support from you. It is a parents responsibility to help their child through college or university to the best of their ability, but then the money can/should be paid direct to the child and not to the ex spouse.

How does a child under 18 get child support when moving out?
Yes.AnswerNot without a move being made by someone with standing in the court toward this end, usually the obligor, who lacks the funding to pay an attorney to do this. In Missouri, child support continues through college, and though each parent is obligated for a percentage of their income for the care of the child, only the obligor continues to pay when the child moves away to college. And, unless a modification is done, it continues to go to the parent who no longer has the child living there.see link below

Mothers signing off do they have to pay child support?
The father should contact the clerk of the court where the support order was enacted for information on how to rectify the situation. Even if the mother has agreed to stop support payments it is not legally binding until the court issues an order stating such. If the father is in arrears he will most likely be obligated to pay the amount before the court considers ending support obligations. Likewise, if the support payments have been made through the state's social services it may not be possible for the mother to or father to engage in the action canceling support obligations.
