Re: When does child support stop

Ordinarily, age 21. However, a settlement agreement may specify another age, and a court may order continued payments past age 21 if the child is in full time school (usually college) until a later age.

In NY a parent's child support obligation continues to age 21, unless otherwise terminated by a Cout Order.

Good luck,
