Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

College Expenses from an Estate

My husband's divorce decree states he will pay for four years of college for his son. If something happens to my husband, am I responsible for paying the tuition from my husband's estate? Am I responsible for the alimony to his ex-wife?
