Often that means presenting evidence to a judge and obtaining a warrant before police can take the intrusive steps of conducting a search of private property.

Termination of Support- Age of Majority. The age of majority is the legal age established under state law at which an individual is no longer a minor and, as a young adult, has the right and responsibility to make certain legal choices that adults make.
The majority of states use 18 as the age of majority (in cases where the youth is still in high school the age of majority may extend beyond 18). States may order support while a child is in college (For more information, visit Termination of Support- College Support Beyond the Age of Majority). An exception to the rule that parents' duty to support their children ends at the children's majority occurs when the child is disabled.
