20? I thought that child support ends when the kid turns 18

How a child can become emancipated in New Jersey

If both parents agree to emancipate their child, they can sign a request to terminate any child support and submit it to the court. If only one parent wants to emancipate their child, then they can either negotiate the terms and enter into an agreement, or file an application where they must present their case to the court, ideally with guidance from legal counsel experienced in child emancipation.

If both parties cannot reach a resolution and one parent brings their case for child emancipation before the court, then the court can do one of three things:

Dismiss your case if it does not believe that the motion presented sufficiently supports child emancipation

Grant relief and allow for your child to become emancipated

Order a plenary hearing focused on the issue of emancipation- , the judge may need further information to make a ruling and will review the case through exhibits and testimony and issue a final decision

Sounds like if your ex is in agreement on everything it can be very easy but if not then be ready to have to prove emancipation.
