Emancipation is the legal status or event that ends the current child support obligation under Arizona law. In most cases child support continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school whichever is later but no later than age 19.

Child support may continue past 18 or may end earlier depending on specific circumstances. A child with a disability who cannot be self-supporting may qualify for extended support.

When there are multiple children support does not end for all children when the oldest reaches the termination age it reduces as each child reaches their termination date.
