It is the parents choice.
Another View: If the child support is mandated by court order, you have no choice in the matter - you must pay through the end of the legally mandated period or until he 'ages out."
As for the child "choosing" to leave home to live with his GF's family - unless he is legally emancipated in the state of his residence he cannot LEGALLY do so. How his guardian parent chooses to address this situation is up to them.
