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.
Child support should stop at the age specified by the child support order, which could be 18 years, or after high school, and this varies from one state to another.hild support is paid to the custodial parent and not the child. After 18, and usually when the child is attending college, the parents may be able to have the support order modified to be paid to the child if they both agree.
