If your support is being withheld from your paycheck, your employer will probably need you to produce a court order terminating support before they will do so. If you are paying directly, the court would consider your continuing to do so beyond the legal requirement, which was the earlier of high school graduation or age 19, as a voluntary act on your part, so you would not be entitled to reimbursement. Of course, your arrears will continue to be due until they are paid off.
