The terms of the support order is what is legally binding. If the order states that support should continue past the age of majority in the state where the child resided when the order was mandated that should be adhered to.
It is not relevant if the child relocated to a different statebefore he or she reached the age of majority.

Could the child support be field in the state the father in?
No. An order of support may only be filed and issued in the jurisdiction where the child legally resides. If support is awarded, your state's department of child support enforcement will be responsible for collection of support even if the father resides in another state. All states have reciprocal agreements for enforcement though, so this is usually no more of an issue than collecting support if both parents live in the same state.

Depends on the state.
Why do you still have to pay child support if you have equal custody of your daughter?
Child support is not based upon how custody is allocated. It is based upon who the child resides with the majority of the time. If the child resides with the mother most of the time, then the mother bears most of the expense of raising the child, therefore the non-present parent is required to pay support. If child resides an equal or almost equal amount of time with both parents, the court evaluates the income/assets of both parents and the needs of the child. The decision will then be made if the payment of child support is warranted, the amount, and which parent should be responsible for payment of such.
