In general, child support ends when: the obligor has legal custody of the child; the child is deceased; the child has been adopted; the child is emancipated (i.e., self-sufficient); the child has attained majority (varies by State but generally age 18-21) - however, support may continue into adulthood for a severely disabled child; and/or the obligor has no income other than public assistance.
