Are Parents legal responsibility for college education?

If the child is still living in their parents house - yes. If the child is living in their own place - no. Whilst the child is living with their parents - the parents are legally responsible for the child's education costs. A college education is not a mandatory parental responsibility like room and board and primary and secondary (high school) education. Therefore parents are not legally required to sponsor a child's college education. Parents are legally responsible for college education costs only if they were involved in the college enrollment and signed forms committing themselves to be responsible for the college tuition and other costs.
