That would be dependent upon the terms of the child support order issued by the court. If there are no specifics relating to the issue it would be necessary to consult the state compulsory education laws. It is possible to file a petition to request modification of the original order, (it's not likely it would be suspended). It is important that the person does not arbitrarily cease paying support, as that could result in a contempt charge and possibly create serious problems.

Probably. In most states, the obligation to pay child support extends until the child becomes emancipated (either turns 18 or files for legal emancipation and moves out). It may extend longer than that. You should consult your local child support agency or a lawyer for details on your particular case, since state laws and support agreements can vary considerably.
Yes, until the age of majority, or the set limit for your state. Note, as of October, Florida no long has a law setting an age limit on child support.

You have to pay until they are 18 years old or whatever your child support papers say. Dropping out of school or them becoming pregnant has nothing to do with it. Child support is to help support the child not keep them from dropping out of school or becoming pregnant.

Yes, you must still pay child support, even if you're enrolled in school. If your income is reduced, or if you have no income, you may petition the court to reduce the amount you are required to pay; however, keep in mind that until you do, the arrears will continue to accrue at the current rate.

It depends on the state. In most states, child support is required to continue until the child turns 18, regardless of whether or not they drop out of high school. However, some states allow child support to end early if the child drops out or is not making satisfactory progress towards graduation.

Yes. There is no provision in Missouri law that specifically covers cessation of child support if the child drops out of school, only that of emancipation (child drops out, moves out, gets a job earning a sufficient amount to support themselves without help of any kind from either parent and/or gets married). If that happens, the parent is no longer obliged to pay and the child must be legally emancipated by the court if all conditions apply before child support may be stopped.

If you live in the US and they're under 18, yes you still have to pay, unless they become legally emancipated in some way, such as marriage or court decree (which is rarely granted).
