That depends on the divorce agreement, that should indicate what the provisions for providing support are.
Re: child support of children attending collge
When one child attends college, this is a time of "substantial change of circumstance" and a review of the entire situation is warranted. Child support could be reduced, based on the relative payment of the obligations of the parents and other factors.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of inforamtion that you have provided to me. You cannot rely on this advice because you have not retained me as an attorney. Before you do anything, you should seek the advice of any attorney. Feel free to call me for a free one hour in office consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

The child support guidelines do not apply when a child is away at college.
There is only support for the months the child is home from school and this number is usually paid over a twelve month period.
