In North Carolina, a father who was never married to the custodial parent is generally not legally required to pay for their child's college expenses unless there is a specific agreement or court order stating otherwise. Parents can voluntarily agree to contribute to college costs, but without such an agreement, the obligation typically does not extend beyond child support obligations. It's advisable for parents to discuss and formalize any arrangements regarding college expenses.
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.
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.

Yes, you may be eligible for Social Security benefits if your deceased father was a wage earner and had sufficient work credits. As a dependent child, you could receive survivor benefits until you turn 18 or up to 19 if you're still in high school. These benefits can be used to help cover education expenses, including college costs. However, it's important to check with the Social Security Administration for specific eligibility requirements and application processes.
No. (The answer is the same whether the father is the obligor/non-custodial parent or obligee/custodial parent.)
If they were married yes but if not married and she was the custodial parent he have to go to court and get custody first.
Yes. He would need her consent if she is the custodial parent.
Only if the father has sole custodial rights, and even then some states will require the non custodial parent be notified and given the opportunity to file an objection with the court.
Yes,the dead beat is expected to pay up.
The custodial parent can change the child's name to anything she wishes.
Yes, if the father is the custodial parent. It works just the same as when the mother is the custodial parent. The non-custodial pay child support based on their income and other factors.
no, that's custodial interference
Unless the parents were married when the child was conceived/born, it is the burden of the custodial parent/State to prove paternity in such a case.
In cases where the parents of minor children are unmarried the mother generally retainssole custodial rights until the father files a custodial suit. However, this does not mean the mother of the minor children can arbitrarily deny the father's rights of visitation.
No. If there is not a custodial order in place the law presumes that an unmarried mother has full custodial rights to her child and does not need permission from the biological father or the court in matters concerning the child. In addition, when a child is born out-of-wedlock the biological father must establish paternity before custodial, visitation and child support can be addressed.
