Can the court order the Obligor to pay child support after my child is 18 years of age?
• Again, you must look to the specifics of your court order. In general, Texas law provides that parents have an obligation to support a child until the child is 18 years of age or has graduated from high school, whichever occurs later. However, under certain circumstances, the obligation to support the child might end earlier (such as when a child marries before the age of 18) or later (such as when a child is disabled).
