1. Except as otherwise provided by law, if an order pertains to only one child, the child support obligation terminates when the child reaches 18 years of age or, if the child is still in high school, when the child graduates from high school or reaches 19 years of age, whichever comes first.

2. Except as otherwise provided by law, if an order pertains to more than one child and allocates a specific amount of the total child support obligation to each child, the child support obligation for a particular child is terminated beginning on the first day of the month following the date on which the child reaches 18 years of age or, if the child is still in high school, the first day of the month following the date on which the child graduates from high school or reaches 19 years of age, whichever comes first.

3. If an order pertains to more than one child and does not allocate a specific amount of the total child support obligation to each child:

(a) If a party wishes to modify the order when a child reaches 18 years of age or, if the child is still in high school, graduates from high school or reaches 19 years of age, whichever comes first, the party must file a motion to modify the order with the court or submit a stipulation between the parties to the court.

(b) If a motion to modify the order is filed with the court, any modification of the child support obligation:
(1) Must be in compliance with the child support guidelines in existence at the time of the modification for the remaining children to whom the order pertains; and

(2) Unless the parties agree otherwise in a stipulation, will be effective as of the date the motion to modify the order was filed with the court.
