Parents are not legally obligated to ever help with college expenses anywhere. Added: If you signed some type of contract obligating you to pay for tuition and room & board, etc, you are obligated until the expiration date of that contract. If no contract was signed, you are not legally obligated to pay anything for your child after they attain their 18th birthday, and they legally become an adult.
