Short version, "no." While some support duties can extend beyond 18 (19 if still in high school) at 18 one is a lawful adult, free of custody orders or legal control of others. Formally, anyway -- many families have monetary, support, social, and other means of getting members to abide by perceived "rules" of one sort or another. But legally, at 18, you make your own decisions.
