The duty of support continues until a child turns 18 years of age. A court may order support up to the age of 20 so long as the child remains enrolled in secondary school and is making substantial progress toward a diploma.

In the state of Virginia, child support continues at least until the age of 18. If the child is 18 and still enrolled in high school, child support continues until they graduate from high school or until they turn 19 years old, whichever comes first.

you pay child support until your total child support obligation is met regardless of the age of the child (IE If you are 10 years behind on child support and the child is 18; you will still owe that 10 years in back support even though it means you won't be paid up until the child is 28)

Your current child support obligations do cease if the child turns 18, joins the military (even at 17), or is emancipated HOWEVER you still owe the backpay
