The length of time for someone to claim child support can vary depending on the jurisdiction. Generally, the custodial parent can claim child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18 years old. Some jurisdictions may allow for an extension of child support if the child is pursuing higher education.

To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year.
