I think that Social Security for dependents of deceased workers ends at 18 or high school graduation unless they changed it in the last few years. It used to go until 21, but that changed the early or mid 1980s.
I know plenty of people who had fathers and mothers like you described. In fact I have friends whose father paid nothing even before they turned 18. No alimony and no child support. He was a dead beat dad with three houses.
