In Pa When Does Child Support Stop?

My stepdaughter turns 18 in 2 weeks but she is still in high school, when does child support stop, when she turns 18 or when she finishes high school?

    Pennsylvania law establishes that both parents are liable for the support of their children who are unemancipated and 18 years of age or older.

    Unemancipated usually means that a woman who is unmarried and under eighteen years of age, has not become employed and self-subsisting, or has not otherwise become independent from the care and control of her parent, guardian, or custodian.

    So you will still be paying even if she turns 18 and will have to wait at least until she finishes high school.
