Unless it is otherwise stipulated in a divorce final judgment, child support can be terminated when the child reaches the age of 18.
In Florida, paying support generally stops at age 18. However, it depends on what your support order says. The age may be different for other states. You should read your support order carefully to understand when to stop paying support. If you've missed paying some of the support in past years, you may have to keep paying until you've paid off everything you missed.

What else can I help you with?
What should the Non custodial father do if the kids have been with him for years living in my house and now the mother tries to get support when they move with her?
In such a case, the non-custodial father should prepare to begin paying child support.
Does a non custodial parent get out of paying child support if on maternity leave?
no
Can a non-custodial mother paying child support move overseas?
if she is non-custodial, she can move anywhere she chooses
Does the custodial parent of a child have the right to not let the father see the child if he is paying child support?
No, simple as that and a judge would very much disapprove of this practice.
What can you do if non custodial parent is not paying and moved to Florida?
File a motion the enforce. Unlike court ordered visitation, child support is enforceable across state lines. Contact child support enforcement.
Can a doctors note make you exempt from child support?
no i dont believe so. only a judge. In my situatuation, a doctor's note saying the non custodial parent can not work will temporary excuse a non custodial from paying child support for around 3 months in a Florida case. According to Florida Child Support Enforcement they can do this as long as their doctor will give them a note, or until the note says they can not work for the rest of their life. Then they will be excused from paying permently. At that point you have to personally sue them, as CSE will not support the order.
Does a father have to pay if the mother has full custody?
Yes, of course. That is the purpose of paying child support: to help the custodial parent pay the costs associated with raising the child. Both parents are responsible for supporting a child and the non-custodial parent must support the child financially.
If a father is not paying child support does he still have rights?
In general, visitation and child support are separate matters. However, if you aren't paying support, you might reasonably expect some resistance from the custodial parent about visitation! But of the two, denying a child a father is far more damaging and costly to the child and society in general. see link below
Will a judge take custody away from the custodial parent if they can not financially support their child?
No, that alone is not a reason to terminate custody. The non-custodial parent should be paying child support.
Does the father have to have the mother's consent to quit paying child support?
The father has to have the court's consent to cease paying child support.
How do a get a warrant put out on a non custodial father for not paying child support?
Pay the amount due (you might be able to work out a payment plan).
Does a father need to pay child support to the mother if the child does not live with her?
A parent must obey the child support order. A custodial parent may be serving in the military with the child under temporary guardianship. That is no reason to stop paying child support. If the child isn't living with the custodial parent who is receiving child support the matter must be brought before the court.
