Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Child support for college student

My daughter is now 21 and a senior in college. I was served with papers by her father to terminate child support, which was paid through a court ordered wage withholding order. Her checks have stopped until we go to court. I have been told by many people child support was to be paid until age 23 if a child was a full-time student in school. Is she still entitled to child support, and if not, do I have to back pay any child support recieved on her behalf since she became age 19?
