Thank you for your question.
Although child support typically terminated at the age of 18 or graduation from high school, the court has the authority to extend child support if the child cannot be self-supporting due to mental or physical infirmity and the non-custodial parent has the means to pay support. If you have a child support order which only provides for support through the typical age, you can file a motion to modify that order to extend payments. You should know that motions to modify are generally only granted if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the original order. For that reason, you may not be able to do this yourself and you may require the assistance of an attorney.
