I grew up in MD and when my parents divorced, my dad only paid through age 18 for me and my brother. If that is the law, why would a parent sign something that required them to pay beyond age 18?
Some people want to do right by their kids and have no problem steadying to that
Except that if it's in the agreement it means you're obligated even if your kid makes no effort to maintain a relationship and/or is a total screw up.
And that's the trap of unconditional love. I told my son that if he ever got caught on news cameras throwing a burning trashcan through a store window, that I would be the parent on the next day's news denying everything and declaring him to be a "good boy."

If you have a child with a disability it might not end at all. An 18 year old down syndrome is not financially independent
