The issue is not the length of time that a child resides in a household but if the adult(s) of that household have been granted legal custody of said child, whether by being the custodial parent or legal guardian(s).

The age of majority for California is 18 in some cases that is when child support ceases due to the fact that the individual is now a legal adult. However, the terms of the child support order dictate how long a parent's financial obligation last, some support orders stipulate that both parents are obligated to support their child to an age that surpasses that of a "legal adult" and/ or includes specific "higher education" terms. FYI, if a child is deemed mentally or physically challenged financial support often becomes a complicated issue.

What is the statute of limitations in California on child support child is 30 years old?

There is no statue of limitation in California on child support but it's usually not more than 18 years unless the child support agreement says differently. Your child is not a child and has not been for many years so I don't know why you are still paying and why you have found it acceptable to do so for so long. You need to read the agreement you signed and if this is not correct that you are still paying, you need to contact a lawyer and get the money back from the child's mother. If it is correct and you want to end it you have to go to court so the judge can end it.
