What are the odds of a parent being granted more child support after the child has turned 18?
I am aware that it extends until he graduates this year and he is not handicapped. I want to know if she will get more support after he turns 18 and graduates?

Unless your child is special needs, then the support will terminate when he graduates from high school or turns 19, whichever happens first.
After that--any support would have to be made voluntarily and not under force of law.
Best of luck.
