My son is 18 years old does his father continue to pay support after he graduates from high school and goes onto college?
The date that child support obligations are to terminate will be stipulated in the child support order. Generally it will read until the age of majority (18 except in Nebraska which is 19) or state a specified age and conditions. Child support is for the child/children and the parent who retains physical custody must use it for that purpose. An 18-year-old for all practical purposes is considered an adult and the child support payment legally belongs to him or her. The custodial parent can either return the money to the paying parent or give it to the named child. He or she cannot withhold the money from a child who has reached the age of majority, nor use it for their own purposes.

If the divorce decree is from the State of Arizona, the answer is NO. He will not be required to continue to pay child support once your daughter turns 18 or until she graduates from high school, but not past the age of 19, UNLESS your divorce decree specifies that child support is to continue until she graduates from college. Arizona Termination of support at 18 or until child graduates from high school, but not past 19 No statute or case law holding parents to a duty to college support in the absence of an agreement; courts will enforce contracts to provide such support.
