The answer to your question depends upon what state issued the child support order as states vary. Assuming that the father is paying support under a Nevada child support order, Nevada provides that support will be paid until the child reaches the age of majority. This is typically 18, however if the child is still in high school, this continues until the child graduates from high school, so long as that doesn't exceed 19 years of age.

Ms. Herr is exactly correct. Various States have child support statutes that continue support until 20, 21, or even 23; some permit support until the child leaves college. The duration of support is controlled by the law of the State that issued the original support order, even if everyone moves from that State. For an explanation, see the article titled "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction," on the Published Works page of our firm web site, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/published_works For details regarding Nevada's child custody support laws, with all statutes, charts, presumptive maximums, etc., see the Child Custody (http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation) and Child Support (http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_support) pages of the web site. As to "harassment," consider whether the matter has progressed to the point that you need a Temporary Protective Order; see http://www.willicklawgroup.com/domestic_violence.
