If it isn't in written in a decree, then a parent isn't responsible for it. So, no, you would not be responsible to pay for college unless it were spelled out as part of the settlement that you made when you got divorced.

When a child turns 18, legally they are an adult and all support stops from the non-custodial parent, unless it says otherwise in the divorce decree. That doesn't mean that it isn't a nice or good thing to work it out with your ex and try to split the difference in the educational expenses of college or pay for some of it, whether your are obligated to do so or not.

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.

Hopefully, you had a divorce lawyer. You should ask your lawyer about the meaning of that clause. Your lawyer will have the entire divorce decree and not just the sentence you quoted. It may mean after your divorce, it may mean after a particular date, or it may refer to the fact that the two of you kept separate finances and your partner ran up large debts without your knowledge. Check with your lawyer.
