How long will child support last?

Usually, a parent must pay support until a child turns 18. However, a judge can order a parent to continue paying support until the child is 20 years old if the child:

  • is not married;
  • attends high school full time;
  • is making substantial progress towards a diploma; and
  • lives with a parent, guardian, or custodian.1

Or, if the child is physically or mentally disabled and cannot support him/herself, child support payments could continue beyond age 18 without proving any of the above.2
