Does a father have to pay child support for a child that is 18 and still in high school?

The issue of there being no court order of support does not relieve a parent of their financial responsibility. In such a situation the parent paying the support could cease payment once the child reaches the state's age of majority, which in NY is 18. More importantly, the parent who is voluntarily paying support needs to be certain all monies tendered for the child is documented in the form of a cancelled check, money order made out to the custodial parent or some other form that can be validated...NOT CASH! The check or whatever should state specifically that the money is for the support of the minor child. If this is not done, there is nothing to prevent the custodial parent from filing a court order claiming that no support has been rendered. Such action would cause the non-custodial parent in serious legal problems, which would be expensive to say the least. A safer and more acceptable option for all parties involved would be to obtain a court order of a specified amount of support and time.

∙ 17y agoNot certain about New York, specifically, but in most states, payment of child support only continues if the "child" in question is, unmarried or under 18, and does not attend any form of formal schooling.

No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
Will you still get child support payment if the father is on welfare?
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case).

Welfare shouldn't matter.
