For more details you can see Florida legal advice website
In general, you pay child support until age 18, although if the child is in school and will graduate high school by their 19th birthday, then child support will continue until then. Child support can also be terminated upon your child’s marriage, death, becoming supporting or otherwise becoming emancipated.
Definitely check with child support for your state. Most states decree that support continues through high school graduation and possibly college. If you owe any arrearages, they can be taken from your federal tax returns and Social Security payments. Any monies owed to a State (child support if your ex was ever on State assistance) can be garnished from wages, or as mentioned above federal tax returns or future Social Security payments.
