Child support comes first, if there is not already an award in place - contact the District Attorney's of office in the county where you live.
If the parent is going to college to be able to have a career with better pay, it may be worth it for you to cooperate as that parent will be able to pay more support once they graduate. If they are going to college with the idea they can avoid paying child support, because they aren't working, they maybe in for a surprise to find out the court has heard it all and will tell them to find a job.
