In Alabama, you are required to pay child support until a child reaches the age of majority, which is 19; however, a parent may be required to pay for such things as college expenses past the age of majority if these college expenses were requested prior to reaching the age of majority.

Typically child support ceases when the child reaches the age of majority unless the court decides to continue support while the child is in school, whether it be high school or college. You can certainly go to court and request an order of support, but unless you were previously ordered to pay support to the custodial parent beyond age eighteen while the child was in their care it is unlikely an order will be imposed.
