It depends upon the state you live in and what their laws are regarding modification of child support. In Texas, for example, you would need to file a modification of child support.

Can child support be obtained in divorce for college student in Illinois?

Not exactly. In Illinois, child support cannot be ordered past the age of majority but "education support" can be. One or even both parents may be ordered to pay education support, based on the child's academic expenses. Education support must also be ordered by a judge, separately from a child support order.


Can a court uphold a divorce decree where the child support is to stop upon remarriage of the party receiving support?

If the divorce paperwork states that child support ends when or if the person receiving support remarries, then, yes, the support will end as the court has ordered. If you are the payer of the support, you shouldn't even have to go to court to get this enforced. Since it's already written in the divorce order, a simple call to child support services, or whoever handles child support in your state, should get it handled. If you are the receiver of the support, the support will end as previously ordered by the divorce court, and agreed to by you, unless you hire a lawyer and take the other person back to court to get the order adjusted. Remember that the court has already ordered how this situation was to be handled, so it will not adjust a single thing unless you can show some especially compelling reason for the change. If the child has a serious illness or become disabled since the divorce would be a decent reason, but even that may not be enough.
