Yes. Your husband is responsible for child support after your daughter graduates from high school if she is a full-time college student and can be compelled to share the cost of college.

However, it could be that the child support could be reduced if he is forced to pay for these expenses.

First check your divorce agreement.judgment to see if it is already provided for there. If not, retain an attorney to advise whether filing a complaint for modification would be in your best interest. Good Luck.
