Once your child is 18, he's on his own. Unless you are divorced and college was included in the divorce decree.

Is a divorced father obligated to pay for college in Indiana?
If you were order by the court to pay child support, that support will continue until the child either graduates college or stops attending. I do not believe the court can order you to pay for college. However, as a father you should be willing to help.
If you pay child support do you still have to pay for college living expenses?
It depends on what was stipulated in the custody/child support agreement. In some agreements, it is expressly written that upon graduation from high school and the beginning of college that the father will pay all, or a percentage of tuition and expenses. In some cases it will state only tuition, of that mom and dad will share fifty/fifty. Looks at the child support papers. If it is not noted, look farther, and then re-check with your attorney.
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.
Are parents legally obligated to pay for college education if they have not filed tax returns or paid taxes in years keeping the child from being able to obtain government aid or private loans?
Technically, parents are not obligated to pay for their child's college education since college is elective. It is the parents' choice whether to pay for a student's college fees or not. As for filing tax returns, you might want to get current on that, especially if you can claim your child as a dependent. You might avoid penalties and liens on your possesions...
