You must pay child support until the child turns 19. Child support stops before this if the child marries (or begins living with another person in a civil union or de facto relationship) or supports themselves financially before turning 19 - for example, if the child is in permanent employment, receives a student allowance, or benefit from Work and Income, or leaves the care of the custodian.

Otherwise, they will be assessed if the custodial parent files a petition for child support with the court. At that time the fact of the child living on their own can be brought to the attention of the court.A minor child should not be living on their own.
