Under Florida law, child supports continues until the child reaches 18 or graduates high school, whichever comes later, but by 19 even if the child hasn't graduated high school. However, if your divorce was in another state, it's possible that your agreement includes college child support. If you were divorced in another state, you should check with a lawyer to see when the support ends.
