Child Support - 18 and Expelled

My son was expelled from high school last March, until January 2001. He has been attending classes for 3 hours a day at an alternative program, he works almost 35 hours per week and he was 18 October 8th. Am I still responsible for child support as I am for his 13 year old sister?
