A: You may have to pay until he's been graduated from high school, but it's hard to know without far more information there's no way to tell. Child support obligations typically run through the later of attainment of 18 years of age or graduation from high school. I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law attorney in the county where the order was entered to learn how the local court may view your particular fact pattern.
