When there is final court order settling the finances it will depend on the exact terms. If there is no court maintenance for over 18s in education may be included in the overall settlement or children can apply for maintenance from separated parents in their own right. The consideration is the needs of the "child" plus their resources and the resources parents have available to meet those needs.
