We can't tell you state laws without knowing what state you are in.

Ct is Connecticut?

If so then its true:
Child support terminates at 18 unless the child is unmarried and is a full-time high school student who lives with a parent. In that case, child support terminates when the child completes 12th grade or reaches 19 years old, whichever occurs first.

-From Sec. 46b-84 of the Connecticut Statutes.

However, its possible that your support agreement extends support. For example, if the support agreement extends support until College is completed then it still may have to be paid.
