The answer

The father or anyone else is not obligated to pay for the son's university expenses, because financial support () ceases when the son reaches an age where he is capable of earning a living, and because university expenses are not included in the obligatory financial support. Nevertheless, paying them is a praiseworthy act and carries a reward, as long as it does not cause hardship to the payer.
