A parent is responsible to support a child up to age 21 to the extent that they are able to provide such support and subject to the child obeying the reasonable rules of the household.
I am required to offer my child assistance (support) in the form of food, clothing, shelter. medical care, etc. to the extent that I am able. In return, he or she is required to obey "reasonable rules" of my household. He or she can refuse my offer of assistance and move out of the household at the age of 18 in New York.
Short answer to your question is yes. You are required to support your child until age 21. If my child is living in a shelter but I continue to offer him or her a bed in my home, access to the food in my refrigerator, etc., then I am living up to my support obligation. At 18 years of age, my child is not required to accept such support.
