You need to hire a local attorney as it is my guess that you stopped paying support without obtaining a court order for emacipation.
If you are saying that your son is now out of school and on his own, you have to file a motion to emancipate him. Support ends automaticaly at 21, NOT at 18. If you are saying that arrears build up over the past 18 years, get a copy of your support record from the clerk's office where the support was ordered, take copies of all support orders, and go have an attorney make the computations to see if you are really 8000 behind.
