In NC, child support stops at the age of 18, unless the child is still in school. It can be either high school or post secondary school. If they are still in school after the age of 18, then child support will end at the age of 20. If the child begins to fail school or drops out, then the person paying can petition the court to have support terminated. 02-10-2006, 02:35 PM #3. Kaikai View Profile.
In most circumstances, you must pay child support until your child reaches the age of 21. The age of majority is 18 for custody, visitation, and other purposes, but remains 21 for purposes of paying child support. Unless thereâs some kind of agreement otherwise, parents have no duty to support an adult child.
