It depends on what you settled on in court. In most cases, the child is 18 before you can stop paying support. In other cases, you may have to pay half of school costs until the child reaches 21 years of age.
In North Carolina, child support typically ends when the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever happens later, but can be extended if the child has special needs or is still in school at age 18. It's important to follow the court order and consult with a family law attorney for specific guidance.
This came from the NC child services website: Q. When my child turns eighteen (18) years old, does child support stop?
A. In North Carolina, if the child has graduated or stopped attending high school at age eighteen (18), the noncustodial parent (NCP) can stop paying ongoing child support. However, the NCP is responsible for any arrearages that are still owed. If you have an interstate order, contact your CSE office.
The support order determines when child support may be ended. In North Carolina the legal age of majority is 18. That is when the non custodial parent is usually released from his or her financial obligation.
Please be advised, the obligated parent should always confirm the matter. Some support orders will list a different age then that of legal majority. The non custodial parent should not cease payment until they have been advised byqualified legaladvisor or the court that they may do so.
Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. If the child is already otherwise emancipated, payments will stop at the time of emancipation. If the child is still in primary or secondary school when he or she reaches the age of 18, support payments will continue until that child graduates, ceases to attend school on a regular basis, fails to make satisfactory academic progress towards graduation or reaches the age of 20 - whichever of these comes first. Based on its discretion, the court may order payments to cease at age 18, regardless of graduation date or any other factors. see links below
