What does your order say? Read it. That is what counts, yet you chose to not to tell us what it says. Does it say you can stop support if the kids quit school?

You have to pay support as long as your order says. Nothing you wrote changes that. That usually will be 18 (or older). Read your decree for the answer.

Agreed with above. The language sometimes needs some interpretation from an attorney. Get an attorney to look at the settlement agreement. In my agreements I often include language that would help iuta person in a situation like yours.
