Increasing Length of Child Support

My wife's two children, 16 and 17 years old live with us, in Florida and she is designated as the primary custodial parent. In her Separation/Divorce Agreement, her children receive child support from their father until they turn 18 years old. Her son will have 7 months of high school left before he graduates, even worse, her daughter will have half of her junior year and all of her senior year of high school to complete, after she turns 18. Now to the question. Is there any way to go back to the court and not only ask, but get a judgement that child support be maintained on the children until they graduate from high school, join the military, get married, etc?
I greatly appreciate the time invested in your replies!

Re read the court order. Most will have wording such as *until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates HS, but not to exceed the 19th birthday* and most times has the term emancipation written in there also.

The court order only states, "until the child turns 18 years old", there is no mention of High School, maturity, or 19.

From what I have read in the FL statutes,the ages, etc are at the discretion of the court.
SO I would assume you can go back to court with a motion to modify the time frame to extend the payments until the children graduate.
