Hitting 18 does not separate you from the ex...it means you spend more money on schooling than child support....it never ends...I don't get why people say "I can't wait till my kids are 18" it doesn't change

In some ways, it does.
Until they are 18, you are sending money to the mom. She can spend it on the kids -- or on herself. I was fortunate, and my ex spent that money on the kids.
After they're 18, you make payments (i.e. schooling) to the child, not the mom. It does shift the nature of the relationship because you don't have that third party involved in handling the cash.
