WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
Generally, a child support obligation will continue until the child reaches the age of 18. However, the court can order that the support continue after the child reaches the age of 18 if the child is a full-time student and not married or emancipated. The order can be extended until the child reaches 20 or graduates, whichever comes first.1
