Re: what is the legal age that you have to pay child support in florida?
Normally support is paid to age 18, unless the child is still in school (high school) whereupon it would terminate upon graduation. Support also would cease upon the death of the child or the child's emancipation. Emancipation is when a minor child "divorces" himself or herself from their parents. You can take a look at Florida Statute 61.30 for more detail.
