Even though you may not legally be bound to pay child support, your child does not stop being your child and you do not stop being their parent just because they turned 18 and you should continue to support them. The Above answer was not the answer to this individuals question at all. You may still have to pay child support depending on what state your child support was filed out of. Double check and see if child support stops at the Age of Majority or if you have a few years after that, also check at what age child support stops when they are enrolled as a full time student in college.

∙ 12y agoIn California, child support usually ends when a child is 18 and has already graduated from high school. But if a child is 18 and is still in high school (full time student), the parent (the one paying) is still required to continue paying child support until the child turns 19 or finishes high school whichever occurs first. If the child is already 18 and in college, it is the discretion of the parents if they will continue to provide child support. Permanent child support maybe ordered by the court for children who are disabled and is unable to earn a living on their own.

If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living

My ex said if she files for child support onour 18 year old i will have to pay support until she finishes college is this true?
In most countries 18 is the age when young people legally become adults. If this is the case in your country, then when a child turns 18, child support would terminate unless they are still at secondary school (then support continues to the end of the school year) However, if you daughter is attending college she probably requires continuing parental support from you. It is a parents responsibility to help their child through college or university to the best of their ability, but then the money can/should be paid direct to the child and not to the ex spouse.

19 year old daughter Do you have to pay child support and college?
Generally these issues are determined and resolved by the courts at the time of divorce. Laws may vary state to state, but usually child support and visitation are two separate issues. Child support is for the welfare and support of the child and is due whether visitation occurs or not. However, child support generally ends at age 18, or the end of the school year that the child turns 18. Sometimes it is extended to age 23 provided the child is enrolled in college. Another reason child support may be extended is if the child has a disability or special need.
If you started a case of child support a year before they turn 18 after they turn 18 does the case end?
No, The issue of past due child support will still be needed to be dealt with as well as future support if the child goes to college or any secondary school.
