most child support orders continue until the child reaches the age of 18 or until he/she graduates from high school.

some states do allow for child support to continue when the child is attending college. there are certain requirements. the child usually has to reside in the home and carry a full load at school.

this usually only covers support and does not include the cost of tuition.

you could always attempt a modification that includes the cost of tuition - after all, you can ask for anything when you go to court.

my link for support is down right now - but give it a try later this afternoon.
