Re: child support

Unless otherwise stated in a divorce decree or other Court order, child support terminates when the child turns 18 or graduates high school whichever is later. In order to terminate child support contact your local Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA). They may be affiliated with the prosecutor's office.
