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 the past decade, Florida enacted a statute that requires all child support orders to contain a end date for child support, specifying that child support ends on the childâs 18th birthday. When there are multiple children included in a child support order, child support is calculated for different dates in the future, as each child reaches the age of 18.
