    Ny state child support ends at what age if after 18 the child is not in school?
    Do you still have to pay child support if your child is no longer in school after the age of 18?

    Normally no.

    You are in New York?

    In NY it can run until 21 depending on when the order was generated.

    What does the support order say about when support ends? I've seen NY order until 18, 21 OR finished with College.

    And I'm in NY.

    Then there's the whole issue of special needs children.

    My daughter just recently turned 18, and will be graduating High School in a few days. She has plans to go to College in the fall. I can't remember what the support order stated, but if it were to continue payments until 21,. is there any way I can have the payments go directly to her? Yes, this is a NYS order from 1994.

    The only way to know is to go back to Court but in NY in general - no. The custodial parent needs to maintain a roof and utilities for the child when she comes home for vacations and breaks.

    You can always ask, though.
