In Nebraska, absolutely. The age of majority is 19 years old and he is in an educational program at the high school level. The measuring stick is whether the child remains dependent on parents for support, not what specific learning environment he is attending.

The custodial parent of a minor is entitled to receive support until the child reaches the age of 18. In situations where the child lives at home and is attending high school full time, the age can be extended until the child graduates high school or attains the age of 19, whichever is sooner.
