It depends on the how the support was laid out legally. You should check your local laws because it also depends where you are located and the age of majority there - support usually stops when the child has reached age of majority unless otherwise stated by both parties. Now, again checking your local laws, if the child is no longer residing with the person that is receiving the support payments the support payments should no longer have to be made. Child support payments are paid to support a child.
