Most child support orders issued by a court remain in force until the minor child reaches the age of adulthood, namely eighteen (18) years of age unless the order is changed before hand.
With respect to the child support order concerning your son, I suggest that you carefully read the child support order that you have written about and pull the court's file on the matter and read all documents within. You will then find the answer to your question as to the length of child support there.
