Whether or not you owe for college or child support beyond age 18 depends on the laws of your state and any specific language in your court orders. In Nevada, you owe child support on the oldest until she turns 18, even though she has graduated high school, but would not owe beyond that for anything unless you had a very specific court order that said otherwise. Review your court orders carefully, and then seek information on the specific child support laws of your state. Also, if you are being garnished for payments or have an enforcing agency involved, it is always a good idea to make very sure they adjust their orders in a timely manner. Do not presume that anything will automatically adjust simply because your oldest has graduated high school and will soon turn 18.
