The age of majority for the state is 18. However, the only thing that applies to child support obligations are the terms stated in the court order. An obligated parent should never abitrarily cease payment based upon the child becoming a legal adult.
Some support orders have stipulations for support beyond the age of majority when the child is physically or mentally impaired, continuing their education, etc.
To be safe from possible legal complications the obligated parent should consult with an attorney or legal services to be accurately informed of his or her financial obligations.

It depends on your state. Normally child support ends upon the age of majority in your state or emancipation.

Check your local state laws.

Should you contact child support when child is about to turn eighteen?
Yes. Don't assume that support will end automatically. My suggestion: Get a court order terminating support as of a specific date, with a finding as to the amount of arrearage, or that there is no arrearage. Then send certified copies to the child support agencies in your State and the State where the child lives and/or where any other orders were entered in the matter.
