Until the earlier of 1) the death of the payor, payee or child; 2) the child reaching 18, unless still in school, in which case graduation or reaching age 19; 3) the emancipation of the child by becoming financially independent, etc. However, if the child has reached 18 (or 19) and is severely and permanently disabled and unable to support himself, the obligation to provide support will continue.
