Normally a court will order support until the 18th birthday or graduation from high school, which ever occurs later.
They can order support during college as well.
How long YOU will have to pay is included in your court order.

The ONLY correct answer is however long the child support order states you must pay. One of the most common rules is until the child turns 18 (legal adult) or graduates from high school.

It depends on your state. Rule of thumb is at least to age 18 and out of school. If he goes to college you may have to pay to age 21.

It depends if you owe any back child support. If so, until you pay it off/die, whichever comes first. I think, but i'm not sure, he can waive his right to it when he's 16 or 18 depending on the situation. But again, i'm not 100% sure about the last part.

Yes, it is until the age of 18 years old.

Depending on what state, 18 until he leave high school!

You are mandated to pay until his 18th birthday, or until he is out of high school, whatever is later.

I believe until he's 18.. age of leaving school. Killing you? Bit selfish ? You seem unwilling to pay up.. that's disgusting
