Article V. Modification and Termination of Child Support
13.35.270 Duration of support order.
Every child support order shall remain in effect until the eighteenth birthday of the child for whose benefit it is entered, absent modification or legal termination of parental responsibilities, such as through emancipation or adoption of the child. If the child has not yet graduated from high school at the time of his or her eighteenth birthday, the order shall remain in effect so long as he or she is a full-time student in high school or a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) program. Unless a child is mentally or physically disabled, the support obligation terminates when the child reaches the age of 18 and graduates from high school or receives a GED, as long as the parties have not agreed to a different arrangement in writing.
