Sure, as long as it meets state law for the percentage of income for child support for a child still living at home, going to school. Otherwise, you might consider subsidizing the child's costs for other expenses, such as food and rent during college. It is always people first, then money, then things per Suze Orman.Answer & ClarificationIf there is an existing child support order that continues while the child attends college, the father has no authority to decide the amount of child support. The father must continue to pay at that level and return to court to request that the existing order be modified if he wants to change the amount he pays. Until a modification is allowed the father owes the amount in the current order.On the other hand, if the legal obligation to pay child support has ended, the father can then decide how much he will pay while the child is in college.
what is going to happen when i give up my right as a father? will i still have to pay child support?
Child support in the state of California continues until the child stops going to school. including college.

As long as the child is in university they are still considered a dependent and are still covered by child support. And aren't you glad your dhild is going to university and more than happy to help them out with it.

So what relationship are you to the parent or the child? If you were married when the child was born, you are assumed to be the father. Unless someone else is listed on the birth certificate, you're going to be expected to support the child.
Usually, the order for support will state the termination date. The order may require support for a child who is a college student.
