You should be more concerned with who is taking care of the child rather than the possibility that you can stop paying child support. You need to return to the court that issued the order and ask the court to investigate the situation. One would wonder why you didn't know where the child has lived for the last two years. It would seem that no one is overly concerned with this child's welfare. The father is responsible for supporting his child until at least eighteen years of age.
Whoever has physical custody of the child should be granted legal custody and the child support must be paid to that person. Both parents are fully responsible for their child and no matter where the child lives she still has needs.

You are 18 and your mother receives child support for you how can you get that child support check put in your name?
Depends on your state, but odds are that you cannot. Child support is normally for a custodial parent. If you no longer live with that custodial parent, and are 18, you are an adult, not a child. Thus, you are not technically entitled to child support.
