Your daughter moves in with her father can he change the amount of child support he pays?

If that is the only child you share, then you will have to pay him child support. If there are two children, then you two will break even and no one will pay child support. If there are more than two children, then the amount of support will have to be re-calculated and he should pay you less.

What if your son will be 18 next year but will graduate when he is 19 He is living with his mother right now but wants to come live with you when he turns 18 Can you collect child support if this take?

Child support does not automatically go to the person with whom the child is living, it goes to whomever the court order says it does. If the court order says you have to pay child support until the child graduates, then you must pay child support until the child graduates, even if the child is actually living with you. You could almost certainly petition the court to change this, but you'd have to take the trouble to actually do so.
