Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have 2 children. One is turning 18 on Sep 27 and leaves home for college on August 22. The other is 15.

The child support ends for the older child (who I am continuing to support in college for the next 4 years) on her 18th birthday.

Am I to continue to pay her mother for the August & September payment even though I am supporting the child in college (in addition to that) and she is not living in her mother's home?

Do I just keep paying the mother until she's 18 & split the payment in 1/2 for my second daughter in October? Or do I need to file anything?
