Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

School

I have a child who will be 18yo in two months. She dropped out of school after the 9th grade. Will I have to continue paying child support if she attends vo-tech to get her education back on track. I know I would if she were still in high school but vo-tech is not considered high school. Am I liable? Thanks
