My wife and myself are separated and have been for15 years, we have 2 children over the age of 30. I am currently on disability and have been for 10 years. I have been paying back shild support since 1988. My current back child support is 17,000. Legally should I have to pay back child support when my kids are over the age of 21?

No, the age of majority in New York is 21, regardless of school attendance. Child support will never continue past the child's 21st birthday unless they have a severe handicap.

The terms of the current support agreement dictate when financial support of a biological or legally adopted child should terminate. The legal age of majority for the state is 18. But, in some cases the support order will override that age and order the non custodial parent to continue payment until the child reaches a specified age or finishes (within reason) his or her education.
