Question

Up to what age do you have to pay child support if child goes to college

Answer

College is irrelevant, unless the parents have agreed otherwise.

Usually, court-ordered child support ends when the child turns 18 years old if he or she graduates from high school. If your 18-year-old child is still a full-time high school student and still lives with a parent, child support ends when your child graduates or turns 19, whichever occurs first.

Child support also ends when the child: marries or registers a domestic partnership, joins the military,is emancipated, or dies.

Parents may agree to support a child longer. The court may also order that both parents continue to support a disabled adult child that cannot support himself or herself.
