The parents of a ward of the state will not receive any child support. They were determined to be unfit parents, and do not have a child to support.
Generally, no - although there might be an exception for a severely disabled child.
An exception to the rule that parents' duty to support their children ends at the children's majority occurs when the child is disabled. In cases where the child is disabled, mentally or physically, and therefore unable to support himself/herself upon reaching the age of majority most states have adopted the rule that parents have a duty to support their adult disabled children. Most often, courts define "disability" in economic terms, i.e., the inability of the adult disabled child to adequately care for himself/herself by earning a living by reason of mental or physical infirmity. States differ as to whether support for an adult disabled child is determined by the state's child support guidelines or by the needs of the child as balanced by the parents' ability to provide support. In the case the child CAN support themselves then they'd be legally an adult at their states normal age of majority which is generally 18.
At what age does child support payments end? Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support is removed from disability status by a court order. Pennsylvania
yes Child support is awarded when one or both parents are absent. If the child's parents are living together with the child (in their own home or other living arrangement), no child support is due.
Child support is not paid to the child. It would be payable to the person who currently has legal custody of the child or to the State if the State has custody.
Child support law assumes that one or both parents are absent.
When the child is emancipated or has attained the age of majority (support may continue for an adult child who is severely disabled); when the child has been adopted; when the parents are married to each other and living with the child.

It depends on your state. It depends on the agreement for child support that was made. Some support the child through high school or age 18 only. Otherwise, the parents have a choice as to the level of support they will provide.
Only in the very rare instance of a severely disabled child whose adoptive parents are unable to support.
