Unless your ex agrees in writing, you will probably need the court to adjust the standing order.

In NY college is often considered as an "extra" that is tacked onto child support. Child support is often needed by the mother so she can maintain the home for the child while the child is away. Hence you will have to go to the court unless you and your ex can agree on some type of equitable situtation.
Too bad this was not addressed at the time your relationship broke up. It could wind up costing you more now.
