You need to do some research in your own particular case. You need to review your separation agreement, divorce decree and any child support order to determine if claiming the child was part of the provisions addressed at the time of your divorce. In some states the custodial parent has a statutory right to claim the child as an exemption. You can visit the court that has jurisdiction over the case and review the file.

In New Jersey family law does a father who is divorced from the mother be required to pay for college and child support?

In most cases, the non-custodial parent has to pay half or more of the college expenses, unless it was stated in the divorce decree that college would not be paid for. I know, because I am the custodial parent and my ex was ordered to pay 65% of college expenses in addition to child support. Lucky for him, though, we qualified for financial-aid for college and all he had to pay was child support. (Which he tried to get out of many times)It's more like the opposite - the non-custodial parent is under no obligation to pay for college unless the order for support specifically provides for it.
