The child maintenance endpoint is the age of 18 or when the child finishes their A-levels.

It is common for any payments to be made directly to the older child rather than to the resident parent.
Does child support end at 18 in California?
Ending Child Support Usually, court-ordered child support ends when the child turns 18 years old if he or she graduates from high school.

Your 18 year old cannot claim himself. The IRS rule is if he CAN be claimed on another person’s return he cannot claim his own exemption.

Can a 18 year old get a settlement?
In some cases this amount can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A structured settlement allows the parent a little more control, but there are some draw backs.
