If parents have the ability to pay, they still have to pay alimony: they are still receiving high school education and education below academic qualifications; Having lost the ability to work; Adult children who cannot maintain a normal life due to non-subjective reasons such as not completely losing their ability to work. With regard to the burden of education expenses, under the national conditions of China, although the children have arrived at 18, they are still studying in various schools, so they can't work for a while and can't support themselves. At this time, as long as parents have the ability, they should continue to pay the necessary education expenses so that their children can complete their studies. However, if parents are really unable to pay, and children have reached the age of 18, it is unreasonable for children to ask their parents to pay for their college education, because under the conditions of our country, this is not the legal obligation of parents.
