Assuming the 18 yr old is now out of high school, all you have to do is file a motion with the court to terminate child support based on the fact that child is now 18. If 18yr old is not out of high school, you will still have to pay support till child is 19 but you can still file motion now to get a specific termination date. You will still have to provide support for any additional children. Its a very simple petition and someone at the court house should be able to help you write it. Once the order is entered you need to give your employer a copy in order for him to terminate the withholding.
