In NC, child support stops at the age of 18, unless the child is still in school. It can be either high school or post secondary school. If they are still in school after the age of 18, then child support will end at the age of 20. If the child begins to fail school or drops out, then the person paying can petition the court to have support terminated. 02-10-2006, 02:35 PM #3. Kaikai View Profile.
Child support terminates when a child turns 18 years old except when the 18-year-old child is still a full-time high school student and lives with a parent. In that situation, child support terminates when the child turns 19 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs first. California child support also terminates if a child marries, joins the military, is emancipated or dies. Parents can also agree to support for an adult child beyond that although that is unique.
