    I am from NY and my mother got child support for us and it stopped at 18yrs... she called and questioned why and they said it was 18 unless the child was in college then it was 21. Maybe it changed since that was about 10 yrs ago.

    Yes, the law did change not too long ago. If you turned 18 10 yrs ago, then the support order was written more than 10 years ago. But the current law is 21:
