In ALL 50 states you pay child support until your obligation is complete. If you owe back support (regardless of what state you are in) you MUST pay the back support regardless of the age or disability of the child. In unique circumstance the age of the child support obligation can be increased through a guardianship probate court case

∙ 11y agoIt's not the norm for the non-custodial parent to collect child support but if they do, Texas state law mandates child support obligations end when the child reaches the age of 18 or when they graduate from high school, whichever occurs later. If the child is emancipated or they marry or join the military, then that will also end the child support obligations unless the original support order has any modifications or provisions apart from the norm.
If child support is in arrears, payments will continue for as long as it takes for any amount in arrears to be satisfied. Any modifications to child support are by order of the court or as mandated by the state agency in charge of child support enforcement.

Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1.

This is a hard question. Once the child reaches 18 you may not have to pay child support. The child may be covered by disability. The child can be put in a long term care facility if you no longer wish to provide care. Check with your local social services office for more information on this.
