By default, no. However, the obligor parent can file for a modification to require this. His level of income is not a variable other than needing a standard modification in support. see links below

∙ 11y agoThe parent paying child support is ordered to pay until their financial obligations are met in full (including back pay.) Some states can additionally order support for the child continued while in college and up to the age of 21-25.
For example if you owe child support for 18 years and you were unable to pay (for whatever reason) and no order reducing the amount owed or suspending it was put in place) and you didn't pay for 7 years then you would owe child support for 7 additional years (this is called back pay or arrears/arrearage) (that you didn't pay) due to arrears. This would mean you would owe until the child was 25 or you met your total financial obligation in full.
I personally know people that due to back pay still owe child support and are obligated to and required to pay the mom and the child(ren) are in their 30s with their own families. You have to pay that full amount, period, no ways around it.

If child support is suppose to end when a child turns 18 state of Pa. Can the child still get support while in college The child lives in Pa. Support was granted from the state of Maryland.?
The law that applies is the law of the governing state of Maryland even if child lives in another state. If Maryland law permits support for post secondary education, then it would be granted. Even if you change the venue to PA and record the child support order in PA, the law must still be enforced based on the original governing state. However, I would certainly not move your child support order to PA since PA law does not allow for any post secondary support unless it is in the orginial child support order or some other written agreement.
Does child support payments stop after the child graduates high school?
The only time child support stops is when the child turns 18 and it is paid in full with no back child support owed. If there is any child support owed however it still can be collected even if the child is 18 and out of school. The only other way child support may stop is if there is also an adoption even then if there is support owed before the adoption they still get that money. This is all of course if you have a child support order through the courts or it's in a divorce decree.

At what age does child support end?
The age at which child support is ended is determined by the terms of the support order and nothing else. The order will either state "at the age of legal majority" or a specific age. It will also include the terms applicable to health insurance, education, and so forth. In some states it is necessary for the parent paying the support to have the order officially rescinded when the child reaches the designated age. Here is other input: * At the age of 18 or until they graduate from college. My uncle had to pay child support for his daughter and then at age 18 she wanted to go to college.
