Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

child support

When my daughter reaches 18 years of age am I still required to pay child support to her mother. My daughter is a junior in high school and is a special ed. student. I would like to put money into a checking account in my daughters name and continue to help her but do not want to pay to her mother,from whom I have been divorced since 1999.
