Ordinarily child support will cease on the child's 18th birthday unless there are mitigating circumstances. If it's a case of back child support, it is owed to the custodial parent who carried the financial burden during the period of nonpayment.

That is first dependent on whether 18 is the age of majority for your state. In Mississippi, it is age 21, which is also when the support stops.

Second is whether child support extends beyond the age of 18 in your state. See link below.

Finally, the obligor parent would need to make an official request with the Child Support Enforcement Office to modify the order.
