No. Child support can go to age 19 only if she was in high school.

In Arizona the general rule is that child support ends when a child turns 18, and has graduated from high school. From your facts as stated I do not believe you would be awarded any child support for your daughter. However, that being said, it would still be worthwhile for you to consult with an experienced family law attorney, as there are exceptions to the general rule.

In Idaho, the child support obligation generally stops at 18, when the daughter is no longer a minor.

Normally not, she is now considered an adult by law.
