Family court won't help, however, has he ever promised to pay for college expenses? An attempt to get voluntary help or a possible prommissory estoppel action may be an avenue. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
Re: Child Support after 18 years of age
The courts jurisdiction terminates at age 18 unless the child is still in High School child in that case support will continue until the child is out of High School or reaches age 19. The court does not have jurisdiction to order child support beyond those limits. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
