My son will turn 18 in June, however he is only a junior in highschool and won't graduate unti he's 19. Does the child support automatically stop at 18 or does the payor have to file a petition for that to happen? Also if he does file a petition, will the court allow child support to cease before the child completes highschool? Any advice appreciated Thanks

Read it all, especially Section D - Age of Majority. CS in NJ ends when a judge says it ends.

Yep, I was just gonna say - you have to petition to have CS stopped.
