    You pay what the court tells you to pay for as long as they tell you to pay it.

    You don't get to stop when YOU turn 18... you get to stop with the child turns 18... and then only maybe... unless your order specifies a longer period until 21 or college is completed by the child.

    You will... as soon as she finds out you owe it. And she will before much longer. You better keep records and not hand her cash ( you want a paer trail)... they are likely to instate it retroactively when it happens... and you will want to prove what you already paid.

    Nobody "puts support" on you. There's a Court Hearing. Were you notified?

    I'm assuming you are in the US - you go to Court, DNA testing is ordered, if you are the father there's a hearing to determine the amount of support you are to pay.

    What?

    If this is what you are asking, yes, she would file a Petition for child support, you would be notified, DNA would be ordered, a Hearing would be had.

    Is that what you are asking? You will not be ordered to pay until the hearing is held.
