How long is a party obligated to pay child support?

Child support terminates when a child turns 18 years old except when the 18-year-old child is still a full-time high school student and lives with a parent. In that situation, child support terminates when the child turns 19 or graduates from High school, whichever occurs first. California child support also terminates if a child marries, joins the military, is emancipated or dies.
