Child support ceases when a child becomes a certain age, which differs from state to state, ranging from age 18 to 21. The most common date is when a child turns 18 and has graduated from high school, or up to age 19 whichever occurs first. Specific clauses can be included in divorce orders that require the non-custodial parent to pay child support until a child graduates from college.
