I currently pay child support for 2 of my children 1 is about to turn 18 years old and on their way to college and the other is 15 years old ( I know I still have a while to pay for the one 15). I just wanted to know if anyone knows at what age do you stop paying and does it make a difference about their sex?

Was the order issued in NY?

NY requires CS until age 21.

CS is not based in any way on the sex of a child.

Google NY child support faqs

When are my children emancipated, so that I am no longer obligated to support them?
A parents liability for the support of his or her children is limited to children under the age of 21 years. In the absence of an express or implied contract, parents have no duty to support an adult child. For custody, visitation and other purposes, the age of majority is age 18, but for purposes of the parental support obligation the age of majority remains at 21. The mutual parental duty of child support is not absolute. It may be suspended or terminated before the child is 21 if the child becomes emancipated by becoming economically independent of his/her parents through employment, by marriage or entry into the military service. Under unusual circumstances, a child may be deemed emancipated if he/she is guilty of outrageous misbehavior, such as makes it inequitable to enforce the support obligation, or if without cause, he/she withdraws from parental control and supervision.

My friend's daughter went to prom this year, and friend sent me pix -->>including a shot showing just the skirt held up above the ankles, to show off the pedicure and new high heels! :D :p

I concede. Girls are spendier than boys.
