Re: child support
Generally, you are obligated to pay until the child is twenty-one unless (for example) the child gets married, begins to work full-time, or the agreement provides otherwise.
Re: child support
Child support would stay at the same level for a child attending school while living at home. If the child goes away from home for college, child support is almost entirely wiped out because the child is being supported at school by the payment of tuition and room and board.

Yes, but I would still speak to an attorney to see if you are entitled to a reduction in child support. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.
