Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am in Illinois, my daughter turns 18 on 9/15/18. I was looking through my papers and for some reason my divorce from 2007 says I am to pay child support through June 1st 2019. I have no recollection of why but I think we decided that because we thought she would be in high school until then. She graduates in May of this year.

Is there anything I can do? Will a judge change the order? I am sure her mother wants the money. She starts college in September and I would like to spend the money towards that. (She is going to school on campus in another town)

Child support does not necessarily end at 18.

The law states it continues if the child is still in school, but in any event ends at 19.
