Your obligation ends when she has turned 18 and has graduated from H.S., unless you agreed in the judgment to pay for college.

Re: Child Support
No child support will be owed to the custodial parent after the child has turned the age of 18 yrs and has graduated from highschool. You may need to file a motion with the court to terminate a wage assigment order/or the wage garnishment if one is actually in effect to prevent future garnishment.
