When Does Child Support End?

Question of the Day:

When does the payment of child support end, on the child's 18th birthday or upon the end of the child's senior year in high school? – Steve

Answer:

Steve: It depends on your agreement and your state law, but most states say child support terminates on the child’s 18th birthday, unless the child is a full-time high school student living at home. In that case, child support terminates on graduation or the child’s 19th birthday, whichever is earlier.
