QUESTION
Would I have to still pay child support for a 18 year old child who only goes to school maybe 2 hours a week?

I doubt it. After age 18 child support in Michigan is reserved for children "regularly attending high school on a full-time basis with a reasonable expectation of completing sufficient credits to graduate from high school while residing on a full-time basis with the recipient of support or at an institution..." That comes directly from the statute. If I was arguing against support I would note that it's hard to see how 2 hours a week qualifies as full-time anything.

Child support in Alabama ends when the child turns 19 unless there is a court order extending the support for a specific reason.

I would have to have more details, but generally after child is 18 in Michigan the child support only continues if the child is continuing in high school and progressing towards graduation and has not reached the age of 19.5 years.

Until the child graduates high school or turns 19.

If the child is in college, then no. If in high school, probably not. The child has to be a full time student and it does not seem that the child is such.
