Your obligation may include a portion of college costs.

In Missouri, child support may include some portion of college expenses. In Kansas, there is no legal obligation for parents to pay for a child's college expenses, but if the parents voluntarily include such an agreement in their divorce or paternity paperwork, that provision will be enforced by the court.
