Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Can someone interpret the child support paragraph for me, so I can understand it? The however part confuses me?

Child Support:

The Husband shall pay to the Wife, the Primary Custodial Parent, the sum of $***.42 per month

from the date of Agreement until the minor child has attained the age of 18, dies, marries or becomes selfsupporting,

unless the child is still enrolled full-time in secondary school, however, support under this

paragraph shall not continue past the child's twentieth birthday.

Support ends at age 18 unless the child is enrolled full-time in high school. In that case it continues until the child ceases to be enrolled full time, but it stops at age 20 even if the child remains in high school at that time.
