An accurate accounting of your options depends on what you mean by "we have been told"? If you are referring to a court order/judgment which states what portion of your child's college expenses you will be responsible for, than you will have to move forward with a Complaint for Modification in the appropriate County Family Court.
With regards to what portion of your child's college tuition and expenses you should be responsible for depends on a few factors.
