Answer:
The obligation for a father to pay child support after the child turns eighteen depends on specific circumstances and state law. In some cases, a court may order child support to continue beyond the age of eighteen. For example, in Oklahoma, if a child continues to be supported by a parent after reaching adulthood, neither parent is entitled to compensation unless there is an agreement in place (Oklahoma statute).
