Yes, under very limited circumstances if the child is handicapped or stipulated in a divorce decree. Also, while searching http://411newyork.org earlier today, I see that in New York, courts may order parents to pay a child's present or future educational expenses, including for post-secondary or education enrichment programs. The court must consider the circumstances of each party and the child's best interests. Orders may specify that payment go directly to the school (N. Y. Dom. Rel. Law § 240(1-b)(c)(7)).

∙ 11y agoIf no terms were specified in the support agreement, child support usually ends at the state's "age of majority" which in most states is 18 and some 21 years old.

∙ 11y agoNo and it's usually paid until 18 but the states usually have a way to prolong it until the child is 21-24 and finish college. You have to go back to court to end it.

Generally until age 23.
Do you have to pay child support if child turns 18 and child support is paid voluntary?
Paying voluntarily is not a presumption of paying legally in most states, so stopping prior to a cutoff date for when a retroactive order can still be filed could result in a large financial lost. Ohio law expressly designates any support paid without a court order as a gift. The mother has until the child turns age 23 to file for retroactive support, and the child can file after the age of majority until age 23. In most states, the mother has until the age of majority of the child to file, and the child has one more year beyond that to file. In Mississippi, the age of majority is 21. The cutoff date for support in New York is 21. Florida no longer has a cutoff date.

Yes. She has until the child turns age 18 to file for 2-18 years of retroactive child support, depending on individual state limits, though some judges are beginning to deny them. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement until 2004 opposed the practice. Once a child reaches age 18, they can file up to the age limit for the state from age 19 to 23, but the retroactive amount is still limited to state guidelines and the cutoff period for that state. In New York, at age 18, the child cab receive five years retroactive with another three years continued support until age 21. The father cannot be awarded any enforceable parental rights to a child that has reached the age of majority, but in Mississippi, the age of majority is age 21.
