All biological parents are legally responsible for the financial support of their minor children regardless of the circumstances. The issue of not having custodial rights and being in college is not relevant to the court when a support order is issued.

∙ 12y agoDoes the non custodial parent have a job, even a part time job? If not, how does the non custodial parent support themself and pay for tuition? Does the custodial parent make a good income? These are only some of the things a judge will consider when making that ruling, so it's about a lot more than just being in college.
