In Texas, the non-custodial parent must pay child support until the child reaches the age of 18. Read https://www.freelegalaid.com/nav/texas/divorce-and-family-law/article/ch... [7] for additional facts regarding child support in Texas. In addition, if your child has been granted emancipation status, then your child support obligation may be waived. Most child support payments are withheld from the non-custodial parent’s paycheck by the employer and collected by the Domestic Relations Office in each county or the state child support enforcement agency. Therefore, to stop child support payments, you must contact the Domestic Relations Office or the child support enforcement agency and speak with the enforcement office assigned to your case.
