South Carolina doesn't make it especially easy to find this out. Nearly everything I can locate says that child support is only for minor children (i.e. those under age 18), but the South Carolina Bar's website says that it "can continue under special circumstances" without explicitly spelling out what those special circumstances are. One of them is almost surely if the child is mentally handicapped to the point that they are incompetent to take care of themselves even as an adult, but if the child is planning on attending college, that's likely not the case.
I've added a link to a document specifying how to go about the child support modification procedure, which includes information on how to get a lawyer. Note that while you don't need a lawyer to do the modification itself, you will have to pay a $150 fee to do so, so you may be better off at least speaking with an attorney first ... there's an option for low income legal aid in the document, and it probably won't cost you anything at all to at least find out if such a modification is even possible.

You pay child support and your daughter is 19 she moved out of her mothers to live with her boyfriend at age 17 he is 21 she is employed and is going to college can I emancipate her?
My understanding is this: Child support will continue until the child or children have either reached age 18 or in the event they are attending college when they graduate. The non custodial parent at anytime can petition the court to reevaluate the custody agreement and child support order. The non custodial partent will then be finantialy evaluated and THt time may have an increase in the support order. The child support agreement is one that is to ensure that the child or children have no change in their lives ie: housing due to a drop in support of the custodial parent and so on. So with all that said your answer may lie within.
