Answer:

In New York, parents are generally required to provide support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is eighteen. However, support may continue beyond this age if the court has ordered it or if the child is emancipated. Additionally, parents may be responsible for their child's educational expenses, including those for post-secondary education or enrichment programs.
