Unless the court for use you from that obligation. You can always file a motion. Of course the man who made her pregnant has certain obligations as well.

Yes, unless she is no longer dependent upon the mother for support (she is residing on her own), in which case you could petition the court to pay your support directly to your daughter until she turns 19. For more specifics, consult with a local family law attorney. Best wishes!

In Utah, yes, you still pay child support, unless she has become legally emancipated, but getting pregnant does not, on it's own, emancipate a minor child.

The law in Nevada is that child support must be paid until the age of 19 or graduation from high school whichever comes first.
