No, the legal age of majority in Kansas is 18, child support is for the child not for the custodial parent. Although the mother may be giving the funds to the young lady for her living expenses, if the minor has not been legally emancipated or deemed a ward of court order (in which case support money would be kept by the state), she should be residing with a custodial parent or legal guardian. The parent paying the support should contact the attorney who handled the original support issue or the clerk of the court where the order was issued to learn the options available. DO NOT arbitrarily cease suppport payments as it is always a possibility you could be found in violation of a court order, always wait until you have obtained qualified legal counsel.

In louisiana does a father still have to pay child support if the child is 18 years old in high school but does not still live with the mother?
Yes. You are not paying for the mother, you are paying for the child. If that were the case, children living on college campuses whose custodial parent has an extended modification to child support granted or are attending boarding school would not be able to collect support. If the child is living elsewhere without permission of the court and/or if that move would constitute legal emancipation as outlined by your state's laws, you do have the right to file for modification of child support based on the same.

Can I receive child support from my son's father if he is in school but has no jobbut his parents support him and Who would pay?
If you're in the US, yes, you can receive child support, although the court might not order him to pay much. If he doesn't have a job, doesn't matter really. He's still legally obligate to support his child, so the court would expect him to get a job (lots of kids go to school and work too). His parents are not responsible for paying his child support.
