A: Their job is to enforce it. They can modify it if requested to, but they would've served you with notice if this was to happen. Most orders would say support is paid until the child graduates from high school, but there are exceptions. You need to speak with counsel about representation if you cannot get them to stop it and the order says it is to stop.
