The age of majority in Texas is 18 so the young person is responsible for their own support. Interestingly there has just been a case here in Britain where a young woman has sued her father for support at University as he did not pay the mandated child support to her mother when she was a minor, so the mother was unable to save to put the daughter through college. In the US the terms of the child support order determines what action, if any, can be taken concerning the date and method of payment, when the support ends, if the order can be changed by self modification and so forth. That being the case, the young adult might or might not be entitled to continued support.

At 18 child support usually ends but the laws in your state and the child support agreement might say otherwise. If the parent who pay child support agree to this he/she can go to the court that issued the order and have it changed so the money go directly to the 18yo. This would also mean that the former custodial parent would have to pay child support.

Not really. You should make sure to file about 60 days prior to stop support and be ready to provide documentation that child is no longer in high school. Contact the AGs office.
