Child Support

Laws current as of October 31, 2023

How long does child support last?

A child support order will automatically end when:

  • your child marries;
  • your child becomes emancipated; or
  • the later of your child turning 18 or graduating from high school, assuming your child is still in your care at that point.

If your child is a special education student, however, the child support order will continue through age 22 as long as your child is continuing high school.1 

You may agree with the other parent to an arrangement that extends child support past the age of 18 if this agreement is approved by a judge.2
