If I am paying child support on 2 children and the first child graduates from high school and is 18, will my child support amount stay the same or decrease?
If your order establishing child support states that your obligation decreases when one child reaches 18, and states the stepped-down amount for the child support, then your child support will decrease to the stated amount. That decrease must also be stated in your wage withholding order which is issued at the time the child support order is put in place. Be sure that your order is written to include the step-down at the time of the divorce or the order being put in place.
