Re: adopted children
Since the subject is "adopted children" I wiil assume that you adopted them.
If the 17 year old is still in high school at 18 you will owe support until graduation or the 19th birthday (whichever comes first0. The same is true for the 9 year old.
If you did not adopt the children and they are not your natural children you do not owe child support.
