It depends on what your judgment states. The general rule for child support is that it ends when the child turns 18 or graduates from highschool (up to 19 1/2 years old). If there is not a provision extending support in your Judgment, then you are not obligated to continue paying child support as your child is over 18 and has already graduated from highschool.
