Child support obligations usually end for the non custodial parent once the child/children reach the legal age of majority for the state of residence. For Washington state that age is 18.

However, an obligated parent should adhere to the terms of the child support order and not just the age at which the child becomes a legal adult.Child support obligationsmaycontinue past the state's age of majority for numerous reasons. It is always in the best interest of the non custodial parent to obtain legal advice before he or she ceases their support obligations.

Do you have to pay child support for a person who is 21?

Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1. Some states require the non-custodial parent to continue to pay child support if the child hasn't graduated high school and is still living with the custodial parent. 2. If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.

The child support is paid to the parent, not the child, to pay for the expenses of the child. So as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back my guess is that the child support is being used correctly.
