My son who is going to college, has never recieved any child support during college from his father. Is ther an Illinois law that requires him to pay or give anything?

Ethically, yes; legally, not unless it was indicated in the divorce decree.

That depends on the court order given him when he was first put on child support payments. Some of them say the man must pay until the child is 21 if the child is attending college. Contact the court and ask for a copy of the original court order for support.

In New York state, child support is paid as long as the child is still in school (which means up to college graduation). I don't know what your laws are in Illinois...you might want to call your lawyer on this one.

no. The child is over 18, so you get nothing. Illinois, by the way, has one of the most corrupt child support systems in the union.

Are you asking whether your ex had an obligation to pay money to your son once your son became an adult because your son chose to go to college? Not in most states, unless the court ordered it in your divorce decree.

He's over 18, so no.
