My CS is in the state of OR. The chold is 22 and I can't believe still paying. Called CS and they said if we write them a letter they will verify if the child is in college or not and if they aren't, which we have no idea then CS will stop. Does anyone have any experience with paying child support when their over 18 and how to stop its indefinite age apparently it is paid until?

If the CS agency is telling you to write them a letter and they are willing to verify that the "kid" is not in college, do that and have CS terminated.

What is the age of emancipation IN the state the order was written?

What does your order say about cs?

18 unless attending college part time and then it is 21 so I am confused why the order says 25. Who knows I am just hoping marriage or quitting school ends it but how would we know we have no contact and CS doesn't check on these things.

I know OR rules and regulations very well... unless they have changed in the 7 years since my SKid aged out form under the Custody/Visitation/Support CO. As an upfront disclaimer... I am not an attorney or in any way an authority on the law. However... I did live under our OR CO for nearly two decades.. as the custodial StepDad.

In the people's republic of SpermLand (Oregon) CS goes until age 18 or HS graduation whichever is later.

Under the Marion County OR supplementary rules CS can continue until the kid is 22 if they are a full time student in good standing with their college/university. IF... the kid requests it.

The difference in the post HS CS is that it no longer goes to the CP and goes directly to the kid.

Unless things have significantly changed.

The supplemental rules are usually county specific so you will want to Google Supplementary Local Rules for your OR county. If you PM me your email I will forward you a copy of the Marion County supplementary local rules.

The stipulations in your CO take precedence over the state and local rules and regs.
