A divorce does not effect child support. Also, usually child support stops when the child turns 18.
Some states or divorce decrees have provisions of child support to be paid until the child is 21 years old if the child goes to college full time. This is very rare. Check your divorce decree and all its stipulations. It is general and common for the child support to stop on the 18th birthday. Support may continue into adulthood for severely disabled children.
In the state of Florida, child support can end when the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old in Florida, unless the child support order indicates otherwise. You should check your child support order if there is a statement indicating when support payments end. Check with the Clerk of Courts in the county where the child support order was entered to get a copy of your support order. You can have your child support payments terminated by applying with the Florida DOR or by court order through the modification process.

the non-custodial parent
If the mother isn't receiving any kind of assistance from the government, she can waive the right to child support from the father, but it wouldn't be in the child's best interest. Child support is the child's right, not the mother's. If the mother were really well off financially, or if she didn't want the father anywhere around the child, she could waive the child's right to support. The father has a responsibility to help take care of the child he helped bring into this world.ClarificationGenerally, in the US, a mother cannot legally waive a child's right to support from their father. A child is legally entitled to be supported by both parents. However, the mother can choose to not involve the court if the parents were never married or if there will be no divorce action filed. However, if the mother doesn't want the money she should put in a college fund for the child.
He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.
It depends on the terms for child support as detailed in your divorce decree.
Yes
It's possible - this is usually decided when the order is first entered.
Alimony, if awarded, is part of the divorce decree and so it is not awarded during the divorce proceeding. If the court deems it appropriate and necessary temporary support can be awarded during the divorce process.
No Fault Divorce is not a considered item in the establishment of child support. However, it should be noted that Florida no longer has an age limit on when child support ends, so it must be addressed in the order.

It's possible. For example, the court may order support to allow the child to attend college. Also, support obligations for disabled children often continue into adulthood.

A parent quits paying child support when the child reaches the age of 18
Certainly. The check goes through the child support division of the state where you obtained your divorce and is mailed to you wherever you are. Gets a little tricky if the person doesn't pay--long distance calls and such.
In my case, the amount of child support was determined by the state which filed the divorce/custody/support proceedings. My daughter lives with her father in New York, yet Florida has jurisdiction because that is where the original proceedings were filed. When she lived with me, Florida also dictated how much he was to pay me...even though he lived in NY.
