Child support typically ends when the child turns 18. If the minor child is still a senior in high school then she has until her 19th birthday or when she graduates from high school. There are other less comomon scenarios when child support ends, like when a child becomes emancipated or joins the army.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
