In Florida, emancipation occurs automatically when you reach 18 years old or you are

In Florida, child support ends at the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old, except where a child support order indicates otherwise.

For example, if a final judgment for divorce or paternity was entered and the settlement agreement states that child support will continue until the child graduates college, or some other trigger.

What age can a non custodial father stop paying child support in Florida?

Unless it is otherwise stipulated in a divorce final judgment, child support can be terminated when the child reaches the age of 18. In Florida, paying support generally stops at age 18. However, it depends on what your support order says. The age may be different for other states. You should read your support order carefully to understand when to stop paying support. If you've missed paying some of the support in past years, you may have to keep paying until you've paid off everything you missed.
