How long is child support received?
Child support is received until a child turns 18 or is emancipated from their parents. Occasionally, child support can go longer than 18 years. For instance, if a child reaches 18 but has not yet graduated from high school, or if the parents have mutually agreed to extend the payments for secondary schooling. Also, if a child has mental or physical limitations which impede them from being self supporting, then the support could be extended.
