It depends on the particular agreements in the divorce settlement. Usually it means child support until the child is 18 or if the child is in school, until the child is 21. Alimony is the same, it depends on the divorce settlement. Normally a fixed time period is agreed on - like 3 years - or until the woman remarries. As a side note - if you become behind on your payments, then you still have to make payments, even after those time periods, until you have paid the total amount due.

What happens if you give additional child support payments without a court order?

If the amounts paid are over and above the amount due in a child support order it would be considered a gift to the child's mother. If there is no existing child support order you should make payments by check. If the mother eventually seeks a child support order the court can go backward to collect child support that should have been paid. If you have proof of payments they will result in a credit.
