Generally, until the child attains majority (this varies from State to State) or becomes emancipated (generally, self-sufficient). Support may be ordered to enable a child to attend college and/or for longer periods for severely disabled children.

Can you just have a custody order in place and no child support order?
Yes, as they are separate issues. However, a custodial parent can request a child support order at any time.

If the custodial parent doesn't need it then the payments should be placed in a savings account to pay for college. Also, if the custodial parent and child are receiving any assistance then the non-custodial parent will be required make payments to the state.
