You can terminate child support automatically only when the child turns 19, marries, or joins the armed forces. Termination for ANY other reason requires a court order from the court that ordered child support in the first place. Under the situation you describe you will have to demonstrate to the court that the child is financially independent and self-supporting. You may be able to switch things so that the support goes directly to the child, but unless she is self-sufficient you will still have to pay someone who is providing for her support.
