A father must spend on his needy child who has no money or sufficient earnings to cover his basic needs. However, if the son is self-sufficient, the father is not obligated to spend on him.
There is no blame upon a father if he disposes of his wealth through gifts, loans, or charity to whomever he wishes. And the son has a greater right to his father's kindness than other relatives.
