Yes, if your divorce decree outlines that you must pay child support until your child reaches age 18 you will have to continue to pay even though they have dropped out of school. Once they turn 18 and do not go to college, your child support will quit.

No. Michigan Law mandates you are responsible up to the age of 19.5. If the child decides to go back, before that time, the custodial parent has to allow it. You have to maintain the home until that time.

You must obey the child support order. Your child must still eat and have a place to live. Perhaps you should step up and help him/her enroll in an alternative school program.

It depends on the state. In most states, yes, child support continues until the age of 18, even if the child graduates high school before their 18th birthday.

That depends on the language of the order for support and the laws of the State in which that order was entered.

Possibly-usually they use adult age whatever that is in your state when they are no longer minor or if you remarry

It would depend upon the state and the specifics of the agreement. Typically the court will require payment until they are 18 or graduate high school.
