If the support order designates the age as 21 and the payments are being made to the custodial parent not to the state and payments are current then the support may be ended upon the child's twenty-first birthday. If payments are made through the state's family and children's services department or some other state agency, a notice of release from obligation must be obtained from the authorized caseworker. Biological parents and adoptive parents must support a child until: the child reaches the age of majority (and sometimes longer if the child has special needs or is in college) the child is on active military duty the parents' rights and responsibilities are terminated (for example, when a child is adopted), or the child has been declared emancipated by a court. (Emancipation can occur when a minor has demonstrated freedom from parental control or support and an ability to be self-supporting

∙ 12y agoAs a GENERAL statement - Most support orders cease upon the child's graduation from high school or when they legally become an adult. Some settlements will call for support up through and including the child's college education. You should check your own child support order, it should say in it how long it runs for.
