Unless otherwise specified in your divorce agreement, support will continue to be payable to your ex-spouse. This can be changed however through agreement with the mother and your daughter or by judgment by the Court.

Also, if your agreement does not provide for a particular scenario once your daughter reaches majority, it could be possible to have child support adjusted to reflect her new actual needs. You can lookup this website's section on how child support is calculated for adult children pursuing higher education for more information on this topic.
