If the child is still in Elementary or Secondary education child support is until graduation or the 19th birthday, whichever comes first. If the child graduates before the 18th birthday support is until the 18th birthday.

One thing I do disagree with Mr. Casanave on is if the child is 17 and graduates from High School, they still get child support until they are 18.
