Here is the law as stated in TITLE XLIII
DOMESTIC RELATIONS
CHAPTER 461-A
PARENTAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Section IV and VII
". The amount of a child support obligation shall remain as stated in the order until the dependent child for whom support is ordered completes his or her high school education or reaches the age of 18 years, whichever is later, or marries, or becomes a member of the armed services, at which time the child support obligation, including all educational support obligations, terminates without further legal action. If the order involves a disabled child, the court shall specify the duration of the order, which may be beyond the time when the child reaches the age of 18."
and
" No modification of a support order shall alter any arrearages due prior to the date of filing the motion for modification. "
So if any of the above apply and no provision to the contrary was in the support order, yes it's possible to pay child support for a child of 18 if he or she has not yet graduated from high school or if they have, if any support is in arrears. If child support is not current, it will be pursued until all past due amounts are paid. If you are current on your child support and your child has reached 18 or graduated from high school, whichever is later, you may file for termination of a child support obligation at the agency in charge of child support collection and disbursement with jurisdiction.
If you are asking whether a parent can file for support for an 18 year old without any prior support order, New Jersey law does provide for that. N.J.Stat.Ann 9:17-45; 9:17-55 of the New Jersey code says that a parent has up to 5 years after the age of majority (18 in New Jersey, so until the child is 23) to legally establish paternity and file for support based on the same. It is retroactive to the child's birth.
