Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

Do we have to pay child support for a child that doesn't live with her mother anymore? The child moved in with her girlfriend and her parents out of state. Our child support order states we have to pay until shes out of high school even though she will be 18 in one month. Who do we pay support to if we have to continue paying it? The child or the parents of the girlfriend?
