Do you need a court order to stop child support payments when your daughter reaches 18 years old?

The original child support order should contain the specified time the child support should cease. In most cases it will be the state emancipation age. However, several states have laws which can allow child support to continue while the child is pursuing higher education or until 21 years of age. Intervention by the court to cease support payments is not needed unless there are mitigating circumstances not included in the original agreement. Such as the child getting married, moving from the custodial parents home, joining the military etc. Most of these actions are mandated under state laws but may need to be brought to the attention of the court.

You best answer is always to contact a local attorney. They will know best what the practice is in your area.
My larger worry is that he may attempt to gain custody using this as an assault on your parental fitness.

When does child support end in wv Does it stop when the child turns 18 even if he is still in High School or is it paid until Graduation?
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 if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies. Upon finding good cause, a court may order that child support payments continue beyond the age of 18 if the child is unmarried, residing with a parent and is enrolled as a full-time student in a secondary or vocational program and making substantial progress towards a diploma. In this case, payments will not extend past the date that the child reaches the age of 20. see link below

In the state of Florida, child support can end when the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old in Florida, unless the child support order indicates otherwise. You should check your child support order if there is a statement indicating when support payments end. Check with the Clerk of Courts in the county where the child support order was entered to get a copy of your support order. You can have your child support payments terminated by applying with the Florida DOR or by court order through the modification process.

Based on its discretion, the court may order payments to cease at age 18, regardless of graduation date or any other factors.
