Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

When Does Child Support Stop

According to CRS14-110-15 Child support continues until the child reaches age 19 unless the child drops out of high school or graduates. How come the judge says I must continue to pay, even though one child has graduated and the other has dropped out of school.I am not ordered to pay secondary education.
