Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My daughter is 18 and will be graduating May 2014 and living with my ex-wife. My ex-wife wants me to continue child support because my daughter wants to attend state college. I would like to know if I am obligated by law? According to our divorce decree I am to pay child support until she graduates high school.

You are not legally obligated to continue child support past your daughter's high school graduation.

No, but I would think you would want her to go to college.
