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

You pay now, ( or your parents may be required to pay for you)
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.Quote:

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.

Judy no I wasn't that's what I don't get do I go to a hearing fist or do they just put it on and you start paying or do you go to court first
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.
Yes I am and OK so if she does file papers for child support court firstr before anything is paid

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