Review your child support order. Your child support obligation is governed by the order and state law. Some states extend child support for education purposes as long as the child is in school full time. Some end the support at eighteen or when the child graduates from high school.

When the child turns 18, unless he/she turns 18 while still attending high school. In that case, child support stops after high school graduation.

There are some variables to this answer.

First of all, it depends on the laws of the state where the court which determines the child support is located and on the child support agreement.

If the child is disabled or dependent, the court can order child support to continue after the age of 18.

If the child gets married before the age of 18 or becomes self supporting, the court can order an end to child support.

If there is more than one child covered by the child support agreement, then the child support could change when one child reaches the age of 18 but, if the paying parent's income has increased, the support payments might increase, depending on the determination of the court.

The parents can also agree on reasonable child support and have it approved by the court, including continuing payment while the child attends college.

No. Visitation and child support are 2 separate issues and the child (although now adult) does not have to see the parent. The parent is always obligated to support the child anyway. Child support usually stops from age 18 though but in some states it can be prolonged when the child is in college.
