He is entitled support until June, provided that he remains a full time high school student after her turns 18. "The duty of support imposed by Section 3900 continues as to an unmarried child who has attained the age of 18 years, is a full-time high school student, and who is not self-supporting, until the time the child completes the 12th grade or attains the age of 19 years, whichever occurs first." (Fam. Code, sect. 3901 subd. (a).)
