You file a Child In Need of Care Motion with the court along with temporary custody pending a full hearing. Issues of access and child support will need to be addressed. If you're desiring to adopt, this gets much more complicated and will require the advice of an attorney.

How would a parent legally renounce paternity of an adult child that is his own child?
Not really. The child of two married individuals is legally considered to be the child of both spouses. If the child is beyond the age at which the parents have legal responsibility for him/her, the legality of paternity is almost entirely irrelevant. If is mostly just a social/family issue. The parent can refuse to see the child, refuse to speak to the child, etc. The only remaining legal detail is writing the child out of the parents will, living will, etc., so that the child cannot make end-of-life decisions for the parent or inherit any of the parent's estate.
Are Parents legal responsibility for college education?
If the child is still living in their parents house - yes. If the child is living in their own place - no. Whilst the child is living with their parents - the parents are legally responsible for the child's education costs. A college education is not a mandatory parental responsibility like room and board and primary and secondary (high school) education. Therefore parents are not legally required to sponsor a child's college education. Parents are legally responsible for college education costs only if they were involved in the college enrollment and signed forms committing themselves to be responsible for the college tuition and other costs.
