My response:

You became an adult at the age of 18.

Your parents don't owe you one, thin, dime. You're on your own, kidlet.

Your mother can ask the court, as part of the decree, to order your dad to pay for part of your college.

Of course, the court can order her to help also.

They don't OWE you anything, but often the court will make provisions for children's college expenses.
