Question

What is the age limit for child support in North Carolina?

Answer 1

for children their 18th year but if they get behind on their support  they pay until it is paid off.  

Answer 2

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50-13.4 provides that a parent has a legal obligation of support until the child reaches the age of 18 except as noted:

        If the child is still in primary or secondary school when the child reaches 18, support payments shall continue until the child graduates, otherwise ceases to attend school on a regular basis, fails to make satisfactory academic progress toward graduation, or reaches age 20, whichever comes first, unless the court in its discretion orders that payments cease at age 18 or prior to high school graduation.
