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.
Not knowing when child support ends can catch you off guard, especially if you're the parent who is receiving the child support. In most states, child support ends when the child reaches age 18. Some states, however, allow child support to continue beyond 18 in certain circumstances, such as if the child is still living at home and attending high school, or if the child has special needs.
