NORTH CAROLINA Part 46

9.WHEN DOES CHILD SUPPORT STOP?


Child support, without an agreement or court order, usually ends at the child's eighteenth birthday, although it will continue beyond then if the child is still in high school, so long as the child is not over twenty years old.A separation agreement or court order by consent may set a higher age, such as upon graduation from college or at age twenty-one.Child support may end earlier than the above if the child is emancipated, such as by joining the military, moving away from home or getting married.
