You have to comply with the child support order. If the order states you have to pay until he reaches 18, you have to do so.
At this point, If you file for a petition to modify child support, it may take a month or two to get on the court's calendar. Therefore, you would probably save 2-3 months of support. If this savings is important to you. You should file the petition to modify support.

It depends on what the child support order says. Consult with a local attorney.
