    It will be up to the child support agreement you have in place. Normally yes, you will, and often pay for part of the college expenses also

    Unless your court papers say different then no. You won't have to pay child support after 18 or until completion of high school and 19. If you have a rrears then it can go on for forever but as far as child support it stops at 18 ( age of emancipation ) so long as they have completed high school.
