My daughter lives with me and my ex pays child support - she is going to go to a JR college and live at home. Does he have to continue to pay for child support while she is living at home?

You need to check the divorce papers. They should give conditions under which child support no longer applies. Generally, there is an age (sometimes 18) at which it stops, but other times it will simply say "the age of majority." In that case, support can continue to age 21, but there may be conditions, like the child has to be in school, etc. Where your child lives while at school generally has no bearing on when support stops.

Normally, child support ends at 18.

This should be listed in your divorce decree. If it simply says until she is 18, he is free of support after her birthday. Talk to a lawyer and have the lawyer look at what the decree says regarding support or payment responsibilities for college. The fact that she is at a junior or community college does not change the fact that it is college.

Once she turns 18 he no longer has to pay child support to you for her. He can help pay for college if he was a nice guy.,

I don't think he has to continue paying child support after she turns 18 no matter what the circumstances are.

It really depends on what your child support court order states. If there is no court order on it, it depends on the state regulations. The best idea is to talk to your local child support office for further information if it is not in the court order.

Hopefully not. Its called CHILD support not, ADULT support. At 18, your daughter is an adult. She can get a job and pay you rent if you're that hard up for money. He's already paid for 18 years- stop mooching off him.
