A child support order is valid until the child reaches the age of majority for the state where the order was issued or the age stated in the support order or unless the order is changed or ceased by order of the court.

If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
