Legal Question in Family Law in California

when a 18year old is still in high school and is going to graduate in May, when will child support end? Whose job is it to find out the exact date of graduation so that child support can stop?

Absent an order for some other deadline, child support ends the day of graduation. It's not anyone's "job" to find that out, but it is certainly in the interests of the support payer to know, and the support recipient probably would want to know too. You don't need any new order to end the support, although if the case is being handled through the Department of Child Support Services, you would probably want to coordinate with them and submit anything they might require to establish that support is done.
