The duty to pay child support on the part of a parent expires upon his or her child becoming age 18 in the Commonwealth unless there has been a prior agreement incoporated into a final decree of divorce which more or less includes language such as "the parties agree that (named parent) shall pay for the support and maintenance of (named child) until (named child)becomes age 22 or finishes college, whichever occurs first".
